It is with the greatest sorrow and sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Sorn Holbrook, after loosing a short battle with cancer.

Sorn was loved by all who knew her and will deeply missed by her fellow workers and management at the Best Western Hotel. Sorn was always cheerful and never had a bad word about anyone.

Sorn was born in Laos to a large family of brothers and sisters. At 16, she and a small group made an escape from communism and made her way to Thailand, getting caught was not an option. Sorn lived in Thailand for 25 years. She married Bruce and with her 2 daughters, Asia and Jolin, moved to Quesnel. Sorn was very happy here and loved the freedom of the outdoors and the people of Quesnel.

Sorn was cremated and the bulk of her ashes will be returned to the family crypt in Laos to rest with her mother and father.

A special thank you to the staff and management of the Best Western Hotel for their substantial collection taken up to aid in her recovery.

Thank you to the ambulance attendants and the ladies from community nursing for the home care. All were excellent and showed consideration and a high degree or professionalism.
