She was predeceased by her husband Brian Hotel, mother Jennie Myrtle Morwood (Johnson), father Everett Lindsey.

Although chronologically 81 years old, she was a very young 81. She enjoyed walking including part of the Camino de Santiago, walking tours of Scotland and daily on Bowen Island. She faithfully practiced yoga and meditation. She enjoyed experiencing many activities with her grandchildren and family. As she said, memories were the best gift of all.

She developed a passion for travel through her many years as an Air Canada employee, rising though the ranks to end her career as routes operations manager out of Vancouver. Bev met the love of her life, Brian Hotel, while both were working in Japan for Air Canada. They were dedicated to the country’s national airline but retired early after moving to Bowen Island where they opened their businesses Innovare and Seaside Reflections Bed and Breakfast. After Brian’s death 2014, Bev dutifully kept him updated on daily life, regularly visiting him at his memorial bench carefully placed along one of their favorite island walks.

Along with being a sharp businesswoman, Bev was the most consummate hostess. She delighted in meeting people from all over the world and showcased her creativity through thoughtful presentation and culinary treats, ensuring guests (including family and friends) were treated royally while experiencing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the best of Bowen. She had a great pride for Bowen Island and worked diligently to preserve the island’s Quality of Life.

Bev will be known for her compassion, laughter, kindness, helpfulness. Bev lived and loved with her whole heart, reveling in finding “experiences” to share. She will be deeply missed by all who had the good fortune to know and love her.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Heart and Stroke or Vancouver General Hospital in “Bev’s memory”
