Larry Lenard Turchet
July 23, 1963 - January 29, 2017
Heaven has gained another angel, way too soon. Larry has joined his dad Melvin, his mom Doreen and his little sister Lee-Ann. The unexpected loss of Larry is almost unbearable for us all. He lived for his children and was so very proud of them. Ricky (Kelli), Amanda and Steven (Amer) were the centre of his world. His sisters Rhonda (Rick) and Reeny (Dean) have lost another piece of their family. His nieces Ashleigh, Brittany and Lauren will miss their uncle Larry’s humour that always made them smile. Karin and Shannon will miss him deeply, as will so very many other relatives and close friends. Larry’s celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 11, from 1-3 pm, upstairs at Carlson Community Club.

Vera Josephine Formosa
Vera was born on the island of Malta on January 7, 1926, to Antonia and Joseph Cosaitis. She shared her childhood with siblings Mary, Paul, George and John. Judging by most of her incredibly vivid stories, it was an interesting and exciting period of her life— until World War II broke out, in Malta, in June of 1940. Moments after war had been declared, 14 year old Vera, sitting with her girlfriends in a theatre watching a Bing Crosby movie, was to discover that her father's ship, HMS Glorious, had been sunk off Norway and he, along with all but a few dozen men, had perished. Vera survived the steady bombing of World War II and all of the hardship and devastation that went with it. Soon afterward, in 1947, she met and married her husband of 51 years, Joe Formosa. Vera and Joe came to Canada with their four children Tony, Joe, Natalie and Adrian and settled in Powell River in 1960. A fifth child, Paul, was born in Powell River in 1964. Vera lived a full life in Powell River and was an active member of her community, doing volunteer work such as Meals on Wheels and child minding at the recreation complex. She led a very spirited, active life that involved long walks, fitness classes and hours of swimming with her friend, Janet Bacon, at Willingdon Beach. Vera was predeceased by her husband in 1998 and her daughter in 2014. She also lost an infant, Natalie's twin brother Noel, two weeks after his birth in 1951. Vera will be dearly missed by her sons and their wives Diane, Susan and Trish, her seven grandchildren Tania, Justin, Joel, Celine, Carly, Hanna and Liam and five great-grandchildren Ryder, Alex, Brynlee, Olan and Oskar, as well as many other friends and relatives. Vera’s Catholic mass will take place at 1 pm on Saturday, February 11, at St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church, 20675-87th Avenue, Langley, BC. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Canadian Cancer Society.

Audrey Marguerite (Peggy) MacLennan (née Funchion)
February 23, 1929 - January 25, 2017 Peggy MacLennan passed away peacefully on January 25, surrounded by loving family. Peggy is survived by her beloved husband of 62 years, Don, and their children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren: Dawn MacLennan of Lakewood, Washington, and her children Erin, Bob (Jenna) and Katie; John MacLennan (Nancy) of Cincinnati, Ohio, and their children Alex and Anna; Dan MacLennan (Leslie) of Campbell River and their children Drew (Erin) and Zella; David MacLennan (Leah) of North Vancouver and their children Erik and Signe; and Scott MacLennan (Nancy) of Ladner and their children Liam and Keira. Peggy is also survived by four beautiful great-grandchildren: Zoie, Ryla, Oliver and Duncan. Delivered by a dentist on the family farm in St. Andrew’s East, Quebec, at the dawn of the Great Depression, Peggy quickly learned the true value of love, faith, hard work and determination. Her dream was to be a children’s nurse, but she took a secretarial course in school at an early age so she could contribute to supporting her family. She started work at the age of 14 and held numerous jobs, including secretarial head of the foreign funds department at the Bank of Montreal on James Street. Working by day, she went back to school at night to finish high school while saving up to attend nursing school. In 1946, at 17 years of age, Peggy was the youngest student admitted to The Salvation Army’s Catherine Booth Maternity Hospital in Montreal. She went on to maternity nursing at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Montreal and then the Children’s Aid Home. Through her work, she came to believe that even the most troubled and disadvantaged tiny lives could be repaired and saved by “pouring love into them,” a philosophy she would practice for the rest of her life. Peggy married Donald MacLennan, the love of her life, in 1954 in Montreal. They moved to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and began a family of their own, into which they poured their love. In 1961, Peggy and Don moved to Madawaska, Maine, where they spent happy years raising their family and participating in community and church activities. Her tireless commitment, faith and contributions were honoured with a lifetime membership in the United Church Women (UCW) shortly before the family moved cross-country to settle in Powell River in 1972. In the 45 years that followed, Peggy poured her heart into the community of Powell River, touching the lives of many. A few of Peggy’s contributions include chairing the hospital board, which brought the new Powell River General Hospital; starting a young mom’s support group; delivering Meals on Wheels with Don; teaching Bible study and Alpha courses; helping with weekly community pasta nights and supporting countless community members as a hospice volunteer and a pastoral-care volunteer. Peggy actively supported and encouraged recent efforts to welcome Syrian refugees to Powell River as well as the earlier welcoming of Vietnamese refugees. The family would like to thank those who looked after Peggy during her brief time in the Powell River and Campbell River hospitals. We would also like to thank Peggy’s “church family” who brought her much joy through the years. She left this world for an undoubtedly better place, with no regrets and much gratitude for a rich and blessed life. There will be a memorial service for Peggy at Powell River United Church, 6932 Crofton Street, V8A 5H4, on Saturday, February 11, at 2 pm. A reception will follow in the church hall. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations in honour of Peggy to Whosoever Welcomes Refugee Project, in care of the United Church, are most appreciated.
