Small, Stuart
August 16, 1922 – January 23, 2010

With sadness in our hearts, we announce that Stuart Small passed away quietly at his home in Qualicum. Born in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan, he served overseas with the RCAF in WW2. On return to Canada, he moved to Vancouver where he met and married the love of his life, Eva. A skilled tradesman and clockmaker, he worked first in the jewellery business and later at the Vancouver School Board until his retirement, when he and Eva moved to Qualicum. Following Eva’s death in 1986, Stuart caught the travel bug and took many adventurous trips to the UK, Europe, and the South Pacific. He loved to meet people and spent many happy days both far afield and at home with friends old and new. Stuart will be greatly missed by daughter Nancy, son-in-law Bob and granddaughter Katie, his brother Irv, sister-in-law Ollie, nephew Michael, nieces Janis and Rhonda, and by his many friends, both here and abroad.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

HUTTON, Gwendolen, G.
February 14, 1910 - January 23, 2010
Just three weeks short of her 100th birthday, our dearly beloved Mother passed away peacefully in the presence of her devoted daughter and son-in-law, Mary and Paul Nielsen, at Trillium Care Lodge, Parksville, B.C.
Predeceased by brothers Len, Jack, David and their spouses, she is survived by loving nieces and nephews, Paul’s siblings and their families, grand-dog Wendy, and dear and special friends, many of whom she considered her extended family.
Born in Exeter, England, she came to Canada as an infant. Most of her life was spent in Vancouver and she moved to Parksville, which she loved, about 17 years ago. We will always be deeply indebted to the Staff of Trillium Care Lodge who truly loved “their Gwennie” as they affectionately called her, and for their friendship and continuous support. All her life, Mum put others before herself and she has earned her angel wings.
Cremation. A memorial gathering is to be
held at a later date.
Flowers gratefully declined. Gwen would appreciate
donations to The Cancer Society of B.C.
