Jeanie was a wonderful supportive Mom who was always there to tend injuries, nurse colds, wipe tears, feed the masses, sew countless bridesmaids dresses and dance costumes, care for grandchildren, provide a loving safe place for friends when their own home wasn’t safe or happy.
Jeanie was universally loved by everyone she met. Her gentle hand, her sweet soft voice and her kindness was truly unique.
Jeanie also had a very successful work life. She worked in and excelled at sales, she perfected her world class cinnamon buns while working for Braun. Whether Jeanie was working in sales or running Sunnyside preschool or any of her many endeavours, she was always respected and revered for her work ethic, intelligence and kindness.

Son of Wilfred Wilbert Sauder and Martha Marie Hirtle (previously Sauder) and stepfather Douglas St. Clair Hirtle.  Brother to Bob Hirtle, Rick (Marg) Sauder, Ernie (Kathy) Sauder, Ruth Sauder, Chris (Chris) Sauder, Lynne Crouch (Hirtle) and his sister-in-law Claudia Richard.  Wilf was Uncle to many.  Predeceased by Kurt Edward Sauder.  Husband to Marlene Nelson for 21 years.  Wilf was born into this long time White Rock family and spent his school years at Peace Arch Elementary and Earl Marriott Secondary.  He was confirmed and married in the Mount Olive Lutheran Church.  During high school he met Marlene and so many of the friends that surrounded him during the last few days of his life in the Peace Arch Hospital.  
Wilf liked to sing and was part of several bands.  He played the piano, the saxophone, the harmonica and the bass guitar.   He was a lover of all kinds of music (from Aretha to Zappa), animals, political satire, religion and philosophy.  Wilf also enjoyed drinking beer in the pub with his friends, sharing his opinions and family dinners.  Wilf was a good cook himself and loved mountain biking and playing softball while he could.  He raged against Trump, rallied for the Blue Jays and spent the last 5 years chasing his pain and attending medical professionals that did the best that they could do.  May he finally rest in peace.
Several memorial moments have already been held for Wilf including friends from his early days.  Kappa Sushi was always a hub and we enjoyed every birthday and celebration at the hands of Michiko san and Yoshi.  We filled the restaurant when Kurt passed and did the same for Wilf on December 28th, 2025.  The next event is an open invitation for all family and friends.  Come for whatever part you can.  Stay as long as you like.  Help celebrate the life of Wilf in the same fashion as we did for his dearly departed brother Kurt on Sunday July 5th, 2026 from 12:30pm – 3:30pm at Campbell Valley Park (the picnic shelter off  8th Avenue in Langley).  Everyone and their dogs are welcome.  Please RSVP Marlene by June 26th if you are able to come, only so I know how many to feed.    [email protected]
Wilfred and Kurt also each have a Train Plaque which will be installed in front of the White Rock Museum.  Look for them later in August of this year.  I leave you with Wilf’s favourite prayer (translated from Sanskrit).  

​It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Giuseppe (Joe) Pucci. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family.
Joe was born on February 8, 1944, on the family farm in the town of Aiello Calabro, in the province of Cosenza, Italy. In 1966, he met and married his beloved wife of almost 60 years, Teresa, in their hometown. Together, they built their life there, but they dreamed of more for their future.
With Joe’s sister Mafalda and brother Carmine already living in Canada, Joe and Teresa made the courageous decision to immigrate in 1973. They settled in Burnaby, where they raised their family and built a life rooted in love, resilience, and devotion.
Joe was a loving father, and despite facing multiple illnesses and mobility challenges, he remained a constant presence for his children. In his later years, his unconditional love was most evident in the bond he shared with his grandchildren—he truly lived for them.
Joe is survived by his wife Teresa; daughter Luisa (Rémi); son Raffaele (Maria); grandchildren Luca, Adriano, Enzo, Sebastiano, and Ayva; his sister Mafalda (Gino: deceased); and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. 
​Joe was predeceased by his father Raffaele, mother Luisa Maria, and brother Carmine (Erika).

Hilda’s family extends heartfelt thanks to the many caring healthcare professionals for their support, and especially to Dr. Amy Megyesi for her exceptional care, sensitivity, and guidance throughout Mom’s life, particularly in her final months and days.

It is with deep love and heavy hearts that we share that our beloved father Constantine Pardalis, fell asleep in the Lord early in the morning on December 2, 2025, surrounded by his children.

He was predeceased in 2002 by his devoted wife, Maria Patricia Pardalis and is survived by his children, Natalia, Reverend Father Simeon (Presbytera Stavroula and 4 children), Nikolaos, and Akylina (Evangelos Asimakis and 3 children), who loved him beyond words.
Our father taught us the meaning of love, the importance of faith, and the beauty of our Greek heritage. He possessed a vast depth of knowledge of our Orthodox faith, of life, of people and he shared it generously with many. He had a gift for guiding others with humility, patience, and compassion, and he was always ready to help anyone in need.

May his memory be eternal. Αιωνία η μνήμη.

Len was the second of five children born to George A. and Maria Enns of Morden Manitoba. At 19, he married Irma Klassen, and became a father within the first year of their marriage. Len’s first career was that of a meat cutter however, an opportunity arose for him to join the agricultural industry as a feed representative to farmers. His reputation grew and an unknown-to-him feed company in a place called Abbotsford tried to recruit him. Len answered God’s call and accepted a position at Ritchie Smith Feeds as a poultry specialist where he made a career for the next 40 years.
Len lost his high school sweetheart in 2019 when his wife of 52+ years passed away. Little did he know that God was about to bring a new love his way. One week before she passed, Len met Barbara Lange, who had moved her husband of 32+ years to the same hospice. The two quickly became friends. Three weeks later, Barb was experiencing the loss of her spouse and it didn’t take them very long to see it was God that had brought them together. Their sorrow was turned into joy and they were married at the beginning of the Covid pandemic on March 25, 2020.
After returning from a family reunion in Winnipeg, Len said that he appeared to be the healthiest of the bunch, a trip to emergency with severe stomach cramps, led to a cancer diagnosis. It was stage 4 esophageal cancer and the prognosis was not encouraging.
Len went to meet his Lord and Saviour on the 21st, with family and friends by his side. He is survived by his wife Barb, son Kevin (Teri), grandson Jesse (Laura), granddaughter Rachel (Stephan), seven great grandchildren, sister Mary (Arthur), brothers Edwin (Carolynn), Larry (Sharon), and Wilfred (Susan), and many nieces and nephews.

“Go rest high on that mountain Len, your work on earth is done.”

In 1979 they moved to Saskatoon where Alicia was born in 1979. In 1985 they moved to the Greater Vancouver area initially to Delta before moving to Surrey in 1993. Bill worked briefly for AZ Trading and McKenzie Seeds before retiring. Bill and Gladys moved to Chelsea Gardens in Surrey in 2017 where Bill was active in the strata council and was the strata president for two years.

Randy spent his early years in southern Saskatchewan, where he was diagnosed while still in elementary school, with Becker’s Muscular Dystrophy, which is an inherited, mild, slow, progressive neuromuscular disease that affects mobility. His three uncles, two cousins and brother also have this hereditary disease. His uncles were mobile into their 70’s and we were optimistic Randy would be too.
Symptoms of this muscle disease include weakness and fatigue, frequent falls, difficulty running, hopping and jumping, unusual gait, enlarged calf muscles. Randy displayed all these symptoms to some degree or another as a child and later on also developed skeletal deformities of the chest, which are also quite common. Development of congestive heart failure or arrhythmias is considered rare with Becker's, but Randy was diagnosed with heart problems a few years ago.
Randy moved to BC in the early 80’s with his family and settled in Mission. He continued to live and work in the lower mainland, graduating from Mission Senior Secondary School, then worked at various jobs in the area. He was eventually employed by The Answer Garden Products in Aldergrove, where he worked for almost 20 years., until an injury in 2015. Mobile until his injury, he worked very hard to regain his mobility without success, leaving him unable to walk and dependent on a wheelchair for his mobility. Adjusting to not being able to walk or return to work was very difficult for him. Going to work everyday gave his life purpose. He enjoyed being part of a team, the camaraderie, the financial independence etc.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Irene Clark (nee Nunziata Sardone) on Thanksgiving Day, October 13, 2024, in her 105th year.
 
Nancy was born on August 16, 1920 in Vancouver, BC. Her parents, Nicola and Beatrice (Granny, Nonna) Sardone, immigrated to Canada from Altamura in Puglia, Italy.  Nicola arrived to BC in 1909 and Beatrice followed in 1918, with their eldest son Mike, due to travel delays from the war.
 
Nancy grew up in East Vancouver alongside her siblings Mike, Joe, Tony and Mary, in the Depression era where she described her family as more fortunate than others. Nancy would go on to become a women’s suffragette and school teacher.  
 
In her early twenties, Nancy travelled to the small town of Topley, BC, for her first teaching job.  It is there where she met her first love and devoted husband, William Clark.  They were married for 39 years, and lived much of their life on an acreage in Port Coquitlam with their two children, before moving back to Vancouver in the late ‘70s.  William passed away in Vancouver in 1982.  Nancy never dated again.
 
To Nancy, blood was thicker than water. She is survived by her two children, Nancy and William, her grandchildren, Jonathan, Emily, Madeline, Katy, Barbie, Adam and David, her great grandchildren, Lumi, Everett, Nicola and Valentino, her nieces and nephews and her dear friend Lily who she met later in life.
 
“Tell-it-like-it-is Nancy” was known for her animated and dramatic nature.  She was a boisterous and often mischievous person who kept dozens of dog treats in her purse at all times and referred to brandy as medicine.  She was a complicated woman ahead of her time, who let her opinions be heard from a mile away.
 
Nancy will be remembered for her unfailing honesty and fierce loyalty to her family.  The world is a quieter and more boring place without her.
 
Nancy firmly believed that animals were better than people. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you make a donation to the SPCA in her memory at https://spca.bc.ca/donate/
  
Nancy’s funeral will take place on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. at Mountain View Cemetery, located at 5455 Fraser St., Vancouver, BC, where there will be a brief gravesite service followed by a reception/celebration of life at 4070 West 33rd Avenue, Vancouver, BC.
