September 23, 1935 – October 23, 2026
After a short battle with cancer, Lena Hasbon passed away peacefully on October 23, 2026, with loved ones by her side at Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops, BC. Throughout her life, Lena faced many medical challenges with strength and determination. She was a survivor who loved life and treasured her time with family and friends.
Lena leaves behind her three children, Mark (Rosemary), Pam Hale (Rick), and Candace Galbraith (John); her grandchildren, Brent Galbraith (Jessica) and Corinna Long (Lunden); and her five great-grandchildren, Derek, Devyn, and Dillon Galbraith, and Hudson and Liam Long. She is also survived by her sisters, Bev Westerland and Carol Cawdell.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband, George; her grandson, Derek Galbraith; her great-grandchild, Reese Long; and her sisters, Chris Sidney and Gwen Wilkinson.
Born in Picarkdville, Alberta, Lena later made her way to Tête Jaune Cache, BC, where her father introduced her to the love of her life, George Hasbon. They married in Hondo, Alberta, and made Prince George their home, raising their three children there. After retirement, they moved to Osoyoos, BC, and later to Kamloops to be closer to family.
Lena found joy in spending time at the family cabin at Fraser Lake, heading south to Yuma, Arizona, as a snowbird, tending her garden, watching birds, and painting.
Warm and outgoing, Lena made friends easily and brought joy to those around her. Above all, she was devoted to her family, who meant everything to her. Her strength, warmth, and love of life will be remembered by all who knew her.
She will be dearly missed and forever loved.
