ROBERT CHARLES (CHARLIE) HANAGHAN 1932 — 2022

ROBERT CHARLES (CHARLIE) HANAGHAN

Charlie, born in Kingston, Ontario, grew up in Camden East, Ontario, running free with his friends and co-conspirators, finding adventures and taking risks. Charley relived those adventures, all his life, through the stories he shared.

Charlie married his life-long partner, Jean Hanaghan (nee Richmond), December 27, 1952, and died shortly after their 69th anniversary.

Charlie is survived by his wife Jean, and his sons, Bob (Charolette) Hanaghan, Jeff (Trudy) Hanaghan, and daughter Claire Hanaghan.
He is survived by his grandchildren, Shelly (Jeff) Peterson, Brent (Kassandra) Hanaghan, Caleb (Chelsea) Hanaghan, Carla (Shawn) Karst, Tanya (Leighton) Garfield, Claye Hanaghan, and Maci Dyck, as well as great grandchildren; Sydney, Hayley, Taylor, Cale, Charli, Emery,
Farron, Lev, Fen.

Charlie was predeceased by his son, Stephen Hanaghan and his
grandson Jesse Hanaghan.

Dad loved to travel and with mom, and they saw so much of North America, from the southern U.S. border, to the Arctic Circle and from
west coast to east, many times.  Charlie and Jean enjoyed many travel adventures with friends and family through the years, sharing lots of laughter, and creating their shared lifelong memories.

Charlie and Jean settled in Kamloops in 1968, after moving west to BC in 1964 to Taylor, BC, to work on the Alaska Highway and then pipeline jobs.  Charlie was a 50 year member of the I.U.O.E. (International Union of Operating Engineers) and spent much of his career working pipeline jobs across Canada.

Charlie loved children and dogs most of all, oh, and cars! And he found happiness with each of these loves.

Charlie lived in his own home until the end of his life, and in his
90th year, was a proud and licensed driver.  Charlie’s independence
was very important to him and we are all thankful he spent his
final years in his own home.

Charlie’s family and friends will miss his big smile,
his stories, his love for cars, and his feistiness.

PENNY LYNNE ADAMS 1966 — 2022

PENNY LYNNE ADAMS

We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Penny Lynne Adams.

Penny will be dearly missed by her husband of 30 years: Darrell Adams, her children: Brandan Adams, Brittany Adams (Corwin), parents: Keith & Bonnie Groff, sister: Pam Moen (Blaine), mother-in-law: Lynne Adams (Dewayne), sister-in-law: Rolanda Beachamp (Ryan), numerous aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces.

Penny was a proud mother and friend to everyone. She believed in treating people fairly and would never hesitate to let you know if you weren’t doing so.
Penny loved children and giving the kids swimming lessons at her favourite spot – her pool. She enjoyed company and inviting people
over to socialize on the deck with a bevy (and a bestie).

Penny loved birthdays and special occasions – any excuse to have a gathering. She loved giving and receiving, what she called “birthday money”, all year long. Penny loved her family immensely – more than
can be described in words.

A pool party Celebration of Life for Penny will follow this summer.

Penny, you were gone far too soon.

Beverley followed in her father’s footsteps and became a passionate gardener. There were numerous hours she would spend watering and tending to her plants and flowers. Mom was known for her incredible gardens with many people admiring and complimenting her on the beauty she would create. One of her favorite things about gardening was the hummingbirds and butterflies that would come to visit her while tending her plants.

Our mother would often share stories with us when she was a young girl. They most often included mom and her twin sister riding their horse they shared over the prairies and around there neighborhood called Grand Trunk, often with their young sister in tow. She always found it exhilarating to race across the open prairie with her black horse beneath her. She kept her fondness of horses with her for the duration of her life.

JOHNSON EUGENE CLIFFORD

Our uncle Gene passed away on Dec 22 2021 in Overlander Care Home. Eugene was born in Barrhead, Alberta on May 28, 1928. He had
5 older siblings; Gayle, Barney (Ww2 VET), Gilbert (Ww2 VET), Larry, and Earl nickname (Swede).

He left home at age 14, working on farms and construction sites all over Alberta and B.C.

He met and married his wife Thelma in Alberta, they worked together building houses in Calgary for years until moving to Kamloops and opening their own construction company.

During their life together they enjoyed trophy hunting with their cougar hounds, rebuilding antique cars, his favorite being a Stanley Steamer.
He later worked for the City of Kamloops assisting with the building of the water treatment plant and the sewer system.

In later years he gave up his guns for a camera and found great joy in shooting photographs many of which he loved to paint when he took up
oil painting. He spent much of his retirement, after the passing of our aunt Thelma in 1994, fly fishing, ice fishing, camping, and tending his garden.

Many friends will remember sitting in the basement of his home drinking beer and tying flies and telling fish stories.

Many thanks to the Doctors and Nurses at the Royal Inland Hospital where he was before being transferred to the Overlander Care
Home where he received kind care until he passed. Thank you to
everyone working at Overland you are truly Angels.

No service is planned but perhaps a fishing trip to his favorite
Howard Lake.
