Tribute

Mom passed away suddenly and peacefully in her home at the age of 81. She was predeceased by her parents Joseph Osavitsky and Dora (Doris) Scarff, her stepfather Al Scarff and her loving husband and eternal dance partner Fred Hatch. She is survived by her sister Charlotte (Pat) Quail, her five children Leslie Hatch, Darryl (Ann De Brincat) Hatch, Karen Hatch, Kim (Darren) Russell and Dana (Norm) Warn and her five grandchildren Michael, AJ and Carter Warn and Holly and Owen Russell.

Mom was born in Borden, Saskatchewan and raised in Powell River. She loved her family and friends dearly and enjoyed going on bus tours to casinos, having coffee at McDonald's, lawn and carpet bowling, playing cards and reminiscing with old friends. She was an excellent cook, knitter and dancer.

Thanks to all the relatives, friends and neighbours who filled Mom's days with happiness and have offered us their kind support. Special thanks to Shirley Leach for being there.

Life it seems can be a mystery
We wake each day to see our fate unfold
As we travel life’s path with others
We are connected, nurtured and guided in so many ways
Learning lessons and growing through love and pain.

Live every moment. Love deeply and freely.

A celebration of Mom's life will be held at 11 am on Tuesday, December 15, at Powell River Town Centre Hotel, 4660 Joyce Avenue. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity of your choice.
