(POWELL)
Mom passed away peacefully on a beautiful, sunny Sunday, August 28th, after an unexpected but brief stay at the Chilliwack General Hospital, at the age of 87.
Beloved mother, grandmother, daughter and friend, she was comforted by her daughters, son, and grandchildren, as she slipped away at her favourite time of day, the dinner hour.
An open-hearted, creative and energetic hostess, famous for her party games, pumpkin pie and cheesecake, a fabulous seamstress, and avid knitter. A proud 2nd generation Vancouverite, history buff, and passionate about the United Empire Loyalists, from whom she was awarded The Most Honourable Order of Meritorious Heritage in official recognition of her outstanding contribution in resurrecting the Vancouver Branch of the U.E.L., a life member of the Vancouver Branch, U.E.L., and Charter Member of the Chilliwack Branch U.E.L. She was a Past Honoured Queen of Bethel No. 1 International Order of Job’s Daughters and a Charter Member of Zarah Temple No. 72 Daughters of the Nile.
Predeceased by husband Stanley Caswell Todhunter (1981) and sister Phyllis Sutton (1997), her partner in the Gordon Campbell Limited, Vancouver (1963-1983).
A valued employee of The University of British Columbia’s English Department for several years, Doreen loved language and was a sought out wordsmith and expert in the M.L.A. Style Sheet and the Chicago Manual of Style.
An amazing mother and nana whose heart was always open no matter for who, what, when, or how. She was so loved and will be carried in the hearts of those who loved her and forever missed by her children and grandchildren and extended families, Judy (Ken Rosmus), James, Susannah, Christina, Sam, Mark; Karen (Bob Derham); Ron (Janet Wagner), Robert, Sean, Schuyler, Jaydon; and Linda (Chris Godwin), Morgan, Sean, Nicole. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Drs. Brodie, Dueck, Easton and the extraordinary nursing staff at the Chilliwack General Hospital.

VAN HORNE, Mary Ellen Friday, 07 Aug 2009 Chilliwack Progress Chilliwack, BC Mary died on August 7th, 2009 at the Chilliwack General Hospital, at age 93 years.
Mary was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on August 6th, 1916 and when she was a small child survived the Halifax Explosion. The only daughter of Charles and Olive Forward, she spent her school days in Halifax. She was in the Girl Guide Movement and taught synchronized swimming at the local YMCA. Her family moved to Ottawa and then to Vancouver. She met her husband Harold Bircham Van Horne when they both were playing in the UBC orchestra. They were married on December 29th, 1949 and moved to Chilliwack where their son Philip was born. Mary’s interest in music was an integral part of her life. She was one of the first people on the Chilliwack Arts Council and played cello in the New Westminster Symphony, Chilliwack Symphony and several quartets. In the early 1980’s the Soroptimist International of Chilliwack chose Mary as Woman of the Year in honour of her deep commitment to the Arts Community in Chilliwack. Mary had an extensive collection of dolls and one of her great pleasures was visiting schools and exhibitions to share her knowledge and have fun with the children. Mary served for many years on St Thomas Altar Guild. Some other groups and organizations who benefited from Mary’s membership were: The Business and Professional Women, The Probus Club, Chilliwack Historical Society, Chilliwack Field Naturalists, United Empire Loyalists and the Red Hat Society.
Mary is survived by her husband of 59 years, Harold Bircham Van Horne and their son Philip. Also her brother Dr. Charles Forward and his wife Beverlee, and her brother Arthur Forward and his wife Jean.
