OBITUARIES
BATEMAN, Helen Madeline (nee Leslie) Died January 1st, 2015. She was born March 4, 1912 in Haileybury, Ontario. She attended Queen’s University, where she met her husband, Dr. Henry Bateman. They lived in Belleville, Ontario for many years before moving to White Rock in the early 1970’s to enjoy retirement, proximity to family and the balmy weather. She is survived by her 2 children, Marilyn McQuarrie and John Bateman, her 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Helen is also survived by an older brother. She was a soft spoken woman with gentle exterior and a strong core of highly principled Scottish values. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation, in Helen’s memory to the CFUW SurreyWhite Rock Bursary Foundation, Box 735039, PPO Surrey, B.C. V4A 0B1. A private reception will be held for family and friends. dePencier, David Brian On December 31, 2014 Dave dePencier left us. He had struggled with complications from diabetes.

As Dave was an enthusiastic sailor, should you wish, in lieu of flowers, a donation to Cresent Beach Search and Rescue would be preferred.
Longtime White Rock resident Muriel Crooks passed away peacefully on Boxing Day, two weeks by of her 93rd birthday. Muriel always lived life to its fullest and was the source of so much joy, fun and laughter to her family, friends and neighbors. Born and raised in Toronto, her first job was working in her family’s picture framing shop on Davenport Road. In 1940 she married her husband Bill and took up her patriotic duty as an original “Bomb Girl”, working in the GECO munitions factory in Scarborough. Searching for better opportunities when the war ended, and to be closer to her parents, William and Clara Haines (who had been living on Victoria Ave since 1938), Muriel and Bill moved to White Rock in 1946 with their three small children. While raising Bob, Virginia and Pauline in the 1950’s, Muriel was involved with the PTA, the Rebekahs, and the Order of the Royal Purple. In 1961 she returned to work, first at the post office on Campbell River Road, then as a waitress at the Ocean Beach Hotel, followed by 14 years as a cook at Berkeley Pavilion and Peace Arch Hospital. Muriel’s retirement was filled with trips aboard to places such as Russia, Spain, and the Caribbean, and of course numerous bus trips to Reno, where her lucky streak always seemed to follow her. Muriel was close to her neighbors on 20A Avenue and considered them an extension of her own family; she hosted many garden parties over the years and the highlight would always be the appearance of a special guest Muriel dressed up as a 1920’s flapper, Ugly Betty, Mother Nature or in some other well crafted disguises. Muriel was predeceased by Bill in 1997, and her cat Pepsi in 2013. She is survived by her three children, five grandchildren, six great grandchildren and one great great grandson; her brother Ken in Ontario; her extended “family” of neighbors on 20A Avenue and many friends at the Peninsula Retirement Residence. Many thanks to the caring staff at Chartwell Crescent Gardens where Muriel spent her final months. WOOD, REINELLA Reinella Wood passed away January 7, 2015 in her 98th year following a brief illness at Peace Arch Hospital. She was predeceased by her husband Robert and is survived by her son, Stephen (Diane), her daughter, Diana (Brian), 3 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. The family would like to express their deep appreciation for the loving care and support provided by Jacquie Watson during Mum’s final years.
McFadyen-Jones, Silvia Ingeborg December 6, 1923 December 29, 2014 Silvia passed from this world peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock B.C. December 29, 2014, at the age of 91. Predeceased by Husbands Robert A. McFadyen and Edward D. Jones, Sister Senta and Mother Anna, survived by son Bruce. Silvia was born in Valga, Estonia in 1923 and endured the invasion of her country by both Nazi and Soviet forces, eventually immigrating to Canada in 1950, and moving to Vancouver in 1955. Working in the Early Childhood Education field, Silvia advanced her experience to eventually teach at several Vancouver region colleges, finally retiring to White Rock B.C. from Kwantlen College in 1988. Silvia travelled extensively in retirement, enjoying the benefits of a life both of challenge and reward. Her final decline following her 91st birthday fulfilled her often stated intent not to live beyond 90. Silvia’s last home was in Peace Arch Hospital, where the dedicated, professional and caring staff of Weatherby Pavilion provided a secure, comfortable refuge in her final days. Our heartfelt gratitude go out to them all.

Cassondra (Curtis) and Korey (Michelle). Great grandchildren Brodie, Alaura, Lola, Lelia, Bella, and Kian, also his sisters and brothers in England. Keith was born in ChorltonCum-Hardy near Manchester, England. He immigrated to Canada in 1966 with his wife and three daughters. His favorite soccer team was Manchester United and he also enjoyed playing soccer. Keith was a past member of Mann Park Lawn Bowling Club, which he enjoyed for many years. He loved spending time with his family and in recent years his great grandchildren brought him much happiness and laughter. He was well known for his humour, singing and could put a smile on anyone’s face. Humour was a big part of him right to the end, along with his mischievous twinkle in his eye. Keith spent the last fifteen months in Czorny Alzheimer Centre. The family is very grateful for Keith to have been in such wonderful, caring, and loving place. A special thanks to all the staff. You will always have a special place in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer Society.
No service will be held, by request. Donations would be appreciated to Silvia’s favourite organization: Medicins Sans Frontieres.

Dorothy Rosenman passed away peacefully in White Rock , BC on Monday, January 5, 2015. Dorothy was born in Melita, Manitoba on June 29, 1919 to George and Nellie Carr. Along with sister Geraldine and brother Glenn, the Carr family moved to a homestead farm at Pipestone, Manitoba. After high school Dorothy graduated with top honors in hairdressing and manicuring at the Beautician College in Brandon, Manitoba she met her husband Victor of sixty-three years. During the wartime years their son Simon was born and the young family was stationed at RCAF bases at Gimli, Manitoba, and Moncton, New Brunswick, returning to Brandon for over forty years in various business enterprises where they were very supportive and active in community service organizations including the Brandon Chapter of the IODE. As one of the first female pilot graduates at the Brandon Flying Club, Dorothy worked with the Amelia Earhart Ninety-Nines International organization of Women pilots in creating the first Manitoba chapter for women aviators. Dorothy was a talented artist and supporter of the Allied Arts Center studying oils and watercolor with a number of noted mentors. Several trophies attest to her success and many friendships through curling and golf over the years in Brandon and later at Hazelmere in Surrey. Upon retirement in 1983, Victor and Dorothy moved to White Rock, BC to be closer to their grandchildren. They lived at Englesea Place until Victor’s passing in 2004 when Dorothy moved to the Peninsula Senior Retirement Residence where she was an active participant in many of its activities. After a recent brief illness Dorothy lived at Whitecliff Care Unit in White Rock. Dorothy is fondly remembered and survived by her three children, Simon (Marsoe) of Aldergrove, BC; Wayne (Joan) of Toronto, Ontario; and Terri-Lee (Allen) Wells of Langley, BC and her three grandchildren, Taisha (Bill ) Purper, Lindsey Wells, and Michael (Amanda ) Wells and 4 great granddaughters. Private interment at Victory Memorial Park, Surrey, BC. A celebration of life will be arranged at later date. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation to the White Rock Hospice Society, 15510 Russell Avenue, White Rock, BC V4B 2R3 or the Brandon Area Community Foundation http://bacf.ca/about-bacf/history, Box 22096, Brandon, MB R7A 6Y9 would be appreciated.
