Millicent June Frazer

(nee Black)

June 15, 1933 – Sept. 13, 2015

With sadness and love, we say farewell to our Mom and Oma. June was 19 when she left Creston, BC to begin an exciting life with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Travelling to Ontario for basic training was an adventure in itself, and she excelled at her chosen career. She met a young pilot officer named John Loughton Frazer, and although they weren’t supposed to fraternize, eventually they became engaged. Mom had to leave the RCAF, and her career as a military wife began. A year later their son Brad arrived, followed by daughters Lee and Kim, and another son, Drew – each born in a different province. The exciting life Mom dreamed of became a reality with postings all across Canada, France, Germany (twice), Norway, the US and Africa before Dad retired in 1986. Throughout, Mom maintained her interest and activities in various voluntary capacities including Girl Guides, horseback riding for kids with physical challenges, and women’s issues.

Settling on Salt Spring Island, they built their home and continued building their reputation as warm and welcoming hosts as many friends visited and enjoyed the wonderful food, wine and company. Full retirement wasn’t to be and as with their military life, Mom’s support was critical to Dad’s success as he then took on politics and the Veteran’s Review and Appeal Board. Mom looked after things on SSI, including volunteering at Seniors for Seniors and the Mobile Mammography Screening Clinic.

Mom was pre-deceased by her son Drew in 1984, her grandson Paul in 1998, and her husband in 2012. By this time Mom was battling Alzheimer’s in addition to other health issues and after Dad’s passing, she moved to Victoria to be closer to family and care. June has been a good friend to many, an amazing Mother to her children and a fun and loving Oma to her grandchildren. June’s final years were not easy, and she missed Dad terribly, but she carried on stubbornly, often with humour and a twinkle in her eye. June is survived by her son Brad (Susan) Frazer, daughter Lee (David) Valentine, daughter Kim (Kelly) Mann, her brother George (Barbara) Black and her sister Betty Smith, her grandchildren: Scott, (Amy), Spencer, Marites, Lindsay and Rodel, as well as great-granddaughters Bella and Chloe.

No flowers please, donations in lieu to the Alzheimer’s Society or Hospice greatly appreciated.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 23, 2015 at 2:00 pm. First Memorial, 4725 Falaise Drive, Saanich, BC.?

Larry Francis Stephen Supina

June 27, 1946 – September 5, 2015

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Larry at the age of 69.

Larry was predeceased by his parents Stephen and Lee Supina of Calgary and his son Christopher of Salt Spring. He is survived by his loving wife Mary, his daughter Tracey (Johnny), son David, (Kim), 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren, family sister Lynda, brother in law Scott (Linda) and faithful companion Molly the dog.

Born in Radway, AB, he was raised in Calgary where he met his wife, while playing bass for Rayell’s Band, and started his family soon after. Starting in 1968 he worked in the oil industry travelling with his family in Alberta, BC and overseas for years. He settled his family in Leduc, AB and continued working overseas until he and Mary settled into life on Salt Spring. Larry was well known as “Larry’s Locksmith”.

Huge thanks to Dr. Leon, staff, and wonderful nurses who took such great care of him and his family.

Terry Ison

On September 2nd, Terry Ison suffered a stroke. It was sudden and quick.

At the time, he was doing one of the things he enjoyed most — playing chess — with the love of his life, Sheryl.

Terry was just three weeks short of his 81st birthday.

Terry loved Salt Spring: first the sailing and later the many trails to explore, and the wonderful people he met.

He is dearly missed by Sheryl, his sister Joan, her sons Mike (Jan) and Robert (Joanne), their families, and the many brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces and nephews on Sheryl’s side of the family.

Our deep thanks and appreciation to Terry’s doctor, David Butcher, and the caring, loving staff of Lady Minto Hospital, and the Royal Jubilee who assisted Terry in his final weeks.

By Terry’s request, no service was held. Our thanks to Hayward’s Funeral Service for their assistance in helping Sheryl fulfill Terry’s wish to be buried in his parents’ grave in England last week.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lady Minto Hospital or the charity of your choice.
