We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Vivi Mariane Comis; the most wonderful and loving wife, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend. Mariane passed away peacefully on June 26th at 5:15 pm surrounded by her family.

Mariane, who was loved by many, was a kind and selfless inspiration and we are incredibly humbled and proud of her commitment to her family and to her many years of charitable work within the community. She touched the lives of many and everything she did was from her heart with no expectation of return. Even in her most challenging moments, her strength was unwavering and selflessly never wanted to put anyone out of their way. Mariane will be remembered for her strength, her kindness, her generosity and her fun-loving spirit.

She was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and moved with her family to Quebec in her early teens. She met George Comis in Montreal and migrated west to BC where they became successful restaurateurs, started a family and laid down roots in Invermere. Mariane was an exceptional chef, both in the restaurant and at home and was actively involved with the schools, the Thrift Store, Invermere Hospital Auxiliary and sewing throughout the valley.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the individuals that helped and supported Mariane and our family during this difficult time and we thank you for playing your part in her journey.

You will be greatly missed Mariane, mom. Your life will be celebrated and your legacy will never be forgotten.

Mariane is survived by her husband George, her children Arne and Alexandra, daughter-in-law Kelly, her sisters Susan and Pia and her granddaughters Athena, Kyah and Kinsey.
