Tribute

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of our wife, mother and grandmother Janet on September 7, 2015 at Powell River General Hospital. Predeceased by her son Bryan, she will be truly missed and lovingly remembered by her husband Alex of 51 years, and children Stephen (Lisa), Ailison (Bruce) and Jennifer (Adam) as well as her grandchildren Charmaine, Kyle, Haley, Lee-Ann and Marissa and great-grand-daughter Kyla. Predeceased by her sister Helen, brothers Brian and Peter, she is survived by her sister Margaret (Rudy) and brother Charles (Anne). She also leaves many, many nieces and nephews who all loved their Aunt Janet.

Born and raised in Paisley, Scotland, she went on to marry River with the two boys. The Scottish community here welcomed them and those friendships were lifelong lasting. She was proud to call Powell River her home. Mom loved spending time with her kids and grandkids, and took any opportunity to gather us all together. She was a devoted mother and grandmother who always put our needs before her own. We are so grateful to have made so many happy memories that we can cherish forever. Mom enjoyed spending time with her Legion friends and was an avid cinch player. We will miss you forever and remember you often.

“Sending our love always.”
