DEANS, James Brodie September 03, 1922 - November 05, 2012 James Brodie Deans of West Vancouver peacefully passed away at home on November 5th, 2012. Brodie was born in Liverpool, England on September 3rd, 1922, the only child of James Brodie Deans and Mary Alice Deans (nee Roberts). Brodie grew up in Kitsilano, where he spent much of his time sailing out of the Kitsilano Yacht Club. At the age of twenty, he made a life changing decision. He joined the Canadian Army and went overseas to "do his part." The years that followed were, in his words, "the best and the worst days of my life." Brodie’s many years of wartime service took him to the United Kingdom, the central Mediterranean area and continental Europe. The best being reflected in the lifelong friendships that were made, and in meeting his wife of sixty-five years, Veronica (Vera) Hendrika Catherina Deans (nee van Eenennaam), during the liberation of The Netherlands. Sadly, Vera predeceased Brodie on August 20th, 2011. Upon conclusion of the war, Brodie and Vera resettled in Canada with the expectation that the worst was behind them. Shortly thereafter, they were faced with another hardship, their first born son passed away within a few days of his birth. Never surrendering to self pity, Brodie and Vera were wonderful parents to their two sons who followed, Gary Ramon Deans and Robert Brodie Deans. Affected by his own service and a desire to serve his fellow veterans, Brodie went to work for the Department of Veterans Affairs as a Veteran Welfare Officer. It was during those twenty-two years that Brodie assisted those who served their country and now needed help. He performed his job with understanding, compassion and of course, a sense of humour. Brodie and Vera loved their home in Lions Bay where they spent over thirty years as "villagers." The squirrels, birds and occasional lost hiker are indebted to Brodie for his generosity. Brodie will always be remembered for his great sense of humour, his compassion for his fellow man, his sense of justice, service, fairness, and his love for animals. He inspired these values in all of his family and friends. In addition to Gary and Rob, Brodie is survived by four grandchildren, Shaun, Melanie, Dylan and Ryder and three great-grandchildren, Samantha, Graeme and Taylor as well as his daughter-in-law Kathleen (Gary) and granddaughter-in-law, Johanna (Shaun). Special thanks are owed to his palliative care team and particularly his caregivers, Jean and Christina who cared for him as their own "Papa". In keeping with his modesty, Brodie requested that there be no service. Therefore, his family requests that you celebrate his life and the service of all veterans at a ceremony this Remembrance Day. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to support veteran programmes with the Legion Foundation. Donations may be made at a local Legion Branch or on-line at http://www.legionbcyukon.ca/content/legionfoundation-donation-page

SCOTT, Joanna Esther Margaret June 7, 1919 - Nov. 2, 2012 Joanna’s marvelous life was long, rich and full. She had enormous strength of character, was fiercely independent, and she wanted things done properly. She was fair, honest and kind to the core. She possessed a rare quality of humility and had deep compassion. She always wanted to help. She had a keen interest in people from all walks of life, be it her longtime garden assistant who resided in the Downtown East Side, the people who sat with her to have their hands massaged at Keep Well every week, or the many strangers who extended their hospitality to her on her extensive world travels. She wanted to know them all and forged enduring relationships with many, even those who just briefly crossed her path. Her boundless energy fueled numerous passions in life, both grand and simple. She loved her teaching career and dedicated herself to it without compromise. Her garden was her constant creation, becoming ever more spectacular each year. She enjoyed bridge with the girls for an astonishing 42 years. To Joanna a bargain was a treasure, and for decades the Saturday morning garage sales provided her with immense pleasure. The importance of community was something she understood well, and she was always meaningfully engaged in hers, especially through her long association with the West Van Seniors’ Centre, the Memorial library where she took care of the children’s books for 17 years and as a vibrant member of her church. This fine, gracious lady was our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunty, cousin, and sisterin-law. She was our dear friend, fond acquaintance and good neighbour. We are bereft in her absence for now, but life was her delight, and when our sadness eases it is the memory of her joyful living that will remain. In lieu of flowers we invite you to donate to either of two groups Joanna supported: Avaaz www.avaaz.org or Union Gospel Mission. A Memorial Service and Reception will be held November 17th at 2 p.m. at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 885 – 22nd St. West Vancouver.
