January 29, 1930 - January 4, 2025
In Loving Memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edna Marion Hamilton (nee Lowe) on January 4, 2025, at the age of 94.
Born on January 29, 1930, in Michel Natal, a small mining town near Nelson, BC, she was the youngest of 10 children and the last surviving sibling. She moved to Vancouver Island after marrying Charlie, the love of her life, in July 1951. They settled in Cumberland, BC, and spent the rest of their lives in the Comox Valley, where they raised five daughters.
Edna lived a life of love and laughter, channeling her playful imagination into enriching the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was long active in the Cumberland United Church, the Canadian Daughters' League, and enjoyed volunteering in the community.
She is predeceased by her beloved husband Charlie (d. October 2000) and eldest daughter Barbara (d. December 2024).
She is survived by her daughters Robin (Wayne), Leslie (Phil), Terry, and Beverley, and was "best grandma ever" to her grandchildren Theresa, Eric, Jill, Erin, Mallory, Corde, and Lilly. She will also be missed by her great-grandchildren Liam, Nolan, Mia, Nova, and Remi, as well as her many nephews and nieces.
Many thanks from the family to the staff at Cumberland Lodge for their kindness and care while Edna was residing there.
