Hannah Jane Daly

Hannah was born January 7, 1924, in Dauphin, Manitoba, and passed away peacefully on March 24, 2017, in Powell River at the age of 93. She was predeceased by her husband Douglas and daughter Lorna. Hannah leaves behind her children Gordon (Ann), Mabel (Jerry), Barry (Elsie) and Jim (Jean) as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Every summer Hannah planted and harvested a large garden, giving her family fresh and preserved produce for the “winter,” even though the grocery store was just down the street.

Hannah worked for the Powell River Company on the capping line during World War II, doing her best to support the war effort. Later, Hannah worked with her sister Georgette at the salal plant to help support her family.

Hannah was well-known for her wonderful crocheting and knitting, her love of a good game of crib or Chinese checkers, her enjoyment of dancing with the Star Dusters and Scottish Old Time Dancers and her support of Powell River seniors until her health started to fail.

A funeral service celebrating Hannah’s life will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, April 15, at Stubberfield Funeral Home; family will receive friends after the service. Flowers or a donation to BC SPCA Powell River and District Branch would be graciously accepted.

 

Anton Joseph Christensen-Lemieux
September 6, 1992 - March 19, 2017

Lost forever now is Anton, dead at 24 and poisoned by fentanyl.

Anton lived in Powell River for several years, getting his first job here and his driver’s licence. He enjoyed all the friends he had here and I know he would be sad to miss seeing them again.

Anton was fully employed and taking an English course when he died. He did not want to die as he was in the middle of doing his taxes and writing an essay on Truth and Reconciliation for school.

Please look after your children, snoop and phone other mothers if you can. Stop this dreadful nightmare, somebody please.
