Georgina Ann Vandine

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our sweet mother, Georgie Vandine (Ferro), on October 26th, 2026 at the age of 86. Mom was born in Trail, BC to John and Louisa Ferro, where she met, married, and started a family with John Vandine in November 1957. After having lived in various small towns in BC, they moved to Duncan in 1970 where they put down roots. In 1975 mom and dad took over the Chevron Service Station, which they operated until their retirement in 2002. One of moms favorite things to do was cook, especially for her family. We all have many memories of gathering at the family home on Sunday nights for a big family dinner made with love, which she did for decades. She always made birthdays extra special by making the birthday persons favorite meal. When she wasn’t working at the station or cooking, she enjoyed sewing, knitting, shopping (especially with her sisters) and travelling with John to Bellingham to shop and trips to Reno and Palm Springs. Mom was predeceased by the love of her life, John, in October of 2022 after 65 wonderful years together. She was the last of 5 siblings, Mono, Mary, Ang and Flo, who all went on before her. Mom will be lovingly remembered by her children, Karen (Stan), Allan (Sherilyn), and Mitchell. Her grandchildren Kirsten (Rob), Adam (Whitney), David (Amara) were the lights of her life as well as her 5 great-grandchildren, Isobel, Jaden, Kaydence, Makaela and Taya. Georgie will be greatly missed by many other family members and friends in Duncan, Trail and other areas of BC.

Mom and dad were fortunate enough to move into The Hamlets in Duncan in February 2022, where dad passed away in October of that year. Mom remained at The Hamlets until May of this year when she moved to Chemainus Health Care Centre due to her diminishing health. We would like to thank her doctors, Dr. Robertson (Duncan) and Dr. Manhas (Chemainus) for their exceptional care and keeping of our mom, as well as all the staff at The Hamlets who did so much for mom after dad passed and the staff at Chemainus Health Care Centre who took such good care of her these past 6 months. We will be forever grateful for the love and compassion shown to her and us by all.

❤ Always Missed, Forever in Our Hearts!! ❤
