REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES
CHARTRAND, Bernadette Belanger December 2, 1933 - May 25, 2021 With much sadness, we announce the passing of our dear wife and mother, Bernie. She succumbed, painlessly, to heart and respiratory failure in her sleep at age 87.
Bernie was born in Valleyfield, Quebec, married her husband Phillip in 1956, and they lived and worked in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Tucson Arizona and Lynchburg Virginia. Throughout raising her and Phillip’s only child, Mark, she worked in the fields of insurance, tax and bookkeeping. She and Phillip returned to Quebec in 1975 and eventually settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, near to Mark. She was the youngest and last survivor among her siblings Raymond, Rita, Frances and Monique. She is survived by Phillip and Mark. Bernadette was a compassionate person who always put the needs of others before her own. Deeply Catholic, she gave freely of her abundance of warmth and talents to everyone she came across in a meaningful way.
COLETSIS, Jimmy Demetrios April 1, 1960 − May 30, 2021 With much sadness, we say goodbye to our Jimmy C but will always have his great music to keep close to all our hearts. Jimmy grew up in Richmond with a loving family and a supportive community of friends and musicians. He spread his wings and lived and played music in Tokyo, Japan, and then moved to London, UK, to pursue a wonderful life as a working musician in his Blues band, "Jimmy C and the Blues Dragons". His sister Chrysoula moved to London shortly after and there they lived for the last 20 years. They were family for each other, and their family grew. Jimmy married Aga and they had a beautiful son, Kosmas who is now almost three. It is heartbreaking for all of us who will miss him dearly: his dad, Kosmas Coletsis; his siblings, George, Maria, and Chrys; and all the family and friends who loved him, and there are so many. We will always have Jimmy on our minds and will always remember the beautiful bright smiles he had for life. Jimmy’s music will always keep him in our hearts. We love you!
We will miss her loving presence, but we are comforted knowing that she embarks upon a glorious afterlife.
