Jan 21, 1936 – Nov 21, 2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Claudine Margueritte Ackerman (nee Lawrey) on November 21, 2020 at New Vista Care Home in Burnaby. Predeceased by her father, Philip(1971), mother, Florence(1997), husband, Stanley(1975), son, Philip (2018) and daughter Joanne (2020). She is survived by her brother Philip (Alice), son Gordon (Sue) grandchildren Catherine (Kevin), Jessica, Nicholas & Jennifer, great grandchildren Abigail & Jenna, life long friends Annette (Sis), Wilda & Mary and extended family and friends. Claudine lived her life in Vancouver and Burnaby. She grew up near Main St & 14th Ave, raised her family in South Vancouver / Fraserview and moved to Burnaby just prior to retirement. She attended General Wolf Elementary and King Edward Secondary schools. She was an Administrative Assistant for the Vancouver school board and later for the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Union, Local 359 where she retired.
While we are deeply saddened to say goodbye, we are happy that she will be re-united with loved ones and relieved that she will no longer have to endure the indignities of Alzheimer’s. The family would like to thank the staff at New Vista Care Home in Burnaby where she lived for the last 4 years. Cremation by request. Her ashes will be placed beside her mother and her son in the Chapel Courtyard at Oceanview Memorial Park in Burnaby. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the New Vista Society or to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. Condolences can be left on the Dignity Memorial website.
