CLARKE
Gwenyth Veryl
January 9, 1924 - April 10, 2009
There is a centre to each home from which all joys must start. The centre of our home is our Mother's heart.
With sorrow in our hearts, we announce the passing of Gwen Clarke. Surrouned and embraced by the love of her large family, Gwen passed away peacefully and with grace on April 10th. Predeceased by the love of her life: Harvey; and survived by her beloved children: Dawn, Leslie (Bob) McAneeley, Rob (Sue), John (Jacquie), Lynn (Td) White; and her precious grandchildren: Sarah (Ken), Carlynn, Chris (Amanda), Katherine (Darcy), Jessie (Jarrod), Rob, Sarah, Leslie, and Carter who all thrived with her unconditional love and encouragement. Grandma treasured her great grandchildren: asmine, David, Christopher, Hank, Veronica, Alexis and Michael who provided her with endless joy.
She is fondly remembered by her surviving brother: Craig Brownlee (Beryl), and joins her beloved sisters, Marilyn Cochran and Auriel Howarth. She will be issed by her sister-in-law Norma Clarke, and brothers-in-law, Dale Clarke (Avis), Jim Clarke and Lloyd Miller as well as her many nieces and nephews.
Born in Rouleau Saskatchewan, the second daughter for Henry and Birdie Brownlee, Gwen and her three sblings thrived in the richness of this small prairie community. She married in 1946 after she was swept off her feet by her handsome Harvey when he returned from active duty overseas in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Her first precious daughter was born n Toronto while Harvey completed his optometric degree. Four more children completed their family as they settled into their wonderful life in Prince George.
Nurturing and encouraging her large family was always her priority, but Gwen found time to b active with the Kinette Club, contribute to community projects as a volunteer, sing in the Church choir, enjoy the camaraderie of her curling teammates (representing the north at the Provincial play downs), and develop many lifelong friendships alon the way.
Mom lived her life fully as a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, neighbour and friend with joy, gratitude and dignity. Her sweetness and grace will live on in the memories of all who knew her. |

August 26, 1921 - February 21, 2009
The family of William (Bill) Else sadly announce his passing in the early hours of Saturday, February 21, 2009 at the age of 87 years.

The family would like to express their appreciation to Dr. oug MacIver and the team from Continuing Care. They gave his family the strength and guidance to fulfill Bill’s final wish to pass away peacefully in his own home.
Bill left this verse to his family so that they would celebrate his life; rather than mour his death.
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path
God Laid for me
I took His hand when
I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, or play
Tasks left undone must staythat way
I found that place at the
Close of day.
If my passing has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine oftomorrow
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times
A loved one’s touch
Perhaps my time seemed
All too brief;
Don’t lengthen it now with
undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now. He set me free.
