Beryl Elizabeth Jefferson

who passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on Monday, April 4, 2022 at

Langley Memorial Hospital.

Always adventurous in spirit, Beryl and her husband, John, emigrated to Canada from

Northern Ireland in 1957 by way of the passenger ship, “The Empress of Britain”. Upon

arriving in Montreal, they then traversed Canada by way of a passenger train to familiarize

themselves with their new country, before finally arriving in Vancouver, B.C. This is where

they made their home and raised their family.

Beryl is lovingly remembered by her children, Julie, Michael (Laura), Mark (Tanya) and

grandchild Anna. Her siblings include her sister Margaret McNiece (Tom, deceased) as well as her brothers Mervyn Hynds (Molly), and Ian Hynds (deceased) (Candace), and her eight nieces, nephews and friends.

Beryl was predeceased on October 8, 1999, by her lovingly devoted husband of 42 years,

John James Jefferson. We take heart that they are once again united in the afterlife.

A Memorial Service will take place in the Sanctuary at 11:00 AM on April 22, 2022 at West

Vancouver United Church (2062 Esquimalt Avenue, West Vancouver BC, V7V 1S4).

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada (https://www.heartandstroke.ca/ ) in memory of Beryl.
