Catherine Elizabeth (Betty) Doupe
April 14, 1929 - February 26, 2017

Betty passed away peacefully at home following a short illness. She was the beloved only child of Lewis and Elaine Lepper and grew up in Vancouver and Ottawa.

Betty attended Normal School and got a teaching position on Texada Island, where she caught the eye of the principal. She and Fred (predeceased in 2014) spent the next 63 years together in Powell River and Comox. They enjoyed a long retirement, boating in the summer and RV-ing to Palm Desert in the winter.

Betty loved hiking, yoga, going to the gym and supporting her grandchildren in their sporting, theatrical and dance endeavours. She was a loving mother to Robin Doupe and Terri (Grant) Jones and a much-loved baba to Michelle (Connor) and Tanner Jones, Erin and Nicole Doupe and great-grandson Hudson MacNeil.

Betty was an elegant, gracious lady who will be sorely missed. Say hi to Papa for us!

At Betty’s request, there will be no service. Arrangements through Piercy’s-Mt. Washington Funeral Home at piercysmtwashingtonfuneral.com. Donations can be made to Camp Homewood, if desired, in Betty’s name.

Rosemary Maisel (née McAulay)

Rosemary passed away on February 21, 2017, at the age of 83, after a long battle with Alzheimers.

She is survived by her brother Ben (Marie) McAulay from Powell River, BC.

Rosemary grew up in Powell River and after graduating from Brooks Secondary School she followed in her mother’s footsteps to become a nurse at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, BC.

Afterward, Rosemary travelled all over Europe with her best friend, Irma Culos, and finally settled in San Francisco, California, to nurse at Kaiser Hospital, where she met her husband, Dr. Fred Maisel.

Her ashes will be interned at our local cemetery where she will be laid to rest with our mom and dad.
