It is with great sadness that
we announce the passing of
Nora Squires at the age of 88.
Nora passed away peacefully
at Chilliwack General Hospital
surrounded by her family. She
leaves behind her children,
Elizabeth Powell (Ken),
Beverley Powell (Dick) and
Lester Squires (Sherry) along
with 7 grandchildren and 7
great-grandchildren.
Nora was pre deceased by her beloved husband Harry
and great grandson Everly. She was born in Leicester
City, England, and immigrated to Canada with her
husband Harry and three small children in 1958. Nora
lived a very active life and was a strong member of
both her community and church. In her early years,
she was involved in the Boy Scout movement as a
cub master as well as dog shows with her Golden
Retriever kennel. She was secretary of the Langley
Barbershop Association, president of her Strata, and a
volunteer at her church and Chilliwack hospice. Nora
worked as a secretary for the Surrey School District
for many years. She loved to RV with Harry, travelling
extensively in both Canada and the United States to
many barbershop competitions, as well as visiting
many ports around the world while cruising. She
loved jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, and was an avid
knitter. Nora always spoke her mind and had a keen
sense of humour which always left everyone laughing.
She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew
her. The family would like to thank the nursing staff
in the emergency department at Chilliwack General
Hospital for the compassionate care they provided.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June
9 at 3:30 p.m. at Chilliwack United Church. In lieu of
flowers, the family requests donations to the Heart
and Stroke Foundation.
