HAWKSFORD, Mary Louise December 4, 1941 to June 30, 2008 Born Mary Louise
Russell in St. John's Newfoundland. She met and married her husband of 43
years Peter Hawksford and had two children, Ken and Kari. Their life
together took them from one coast to the other, as they left their maritime
beginnings, and eventually settled in Victoria, BC. Her love and passion for
Newfoundland followed her, and was a recurring theme through all of her
days. While her life carried her across Canada, Newfoundland remained
forever in her heart. Along with husband Peter, she made several return
trips, filling an abundance of photo-albums with pictures of her travels.
Louise worked at Victoria General Hospital as an Electro Cardio Technician,
making friends who would be with her the remainder of her life. Several
years were spent in the Canadian Forces Sailing Association, and as always
her camera was always close at hand. Partial retirement allowed Louise to
spend Monday's with her grandson Duncan. Day's at Gramma's house were spent
learning Puff the Magic Dragon", listening to Newfoundland music, and
dancing. As a talented photographer, she was published more than once in the
Downhome magazine. For Christmas 2007, she was surprised with a book of her
own pictures of Newfoundland, produced and arranged by her son Ken: a
treasure beyond description. Proving that you can take the girl from the
bay, but not the bay from the girl, Louise became a member of the
Newfoundland Club of Victoria, where she designed the club logo. The friends
made here were a chip off the Old Rock", and helped her as she battled ALS
with various fundraisers, and some very talented home renovations that
allowed her to remain in her house throughout the course of her battle with
ALS. After her diagnosis with ALS, friends and family rallied in her
support. She broke the bank with donations in her honour at the ALS walk
held annually in Victoria. Team Lou-Lou" showed up en mass to show their
support for her. We are many, we are one" became a mantra that followed her
through the remainder of her days. In 2007, the family travelled with Louise
to Newfoundland, where she was able to show everyone the land she loved so
much. Memories of Gannet's nesting at Cape St. Mary's, and whales at Cape
Spear, will be cherished by her family. The last year of her life was spent
battling ALS, a disease which may have claimed her life, but never her
spirit. With the care of loving friends and family, Louise was able to
remain in the home she loved so much. Throughout her illness, she often
heard Be still, and know that I am God". In the end, the care at Victoria
Hospice provided comfort to her and her loved ones. She died peacefully in
her sleep, family by her side, secure in the knowledge that her family would
have the comfort that she wanted for them. She is predeceased by her
brother, Wally Russell, parents Irene and Roy Russell, and Aunt Joyce Adams.
She leaves behind husband Peter, daughter Kari (Gavin) and grandson Duncan,
son Ken, brothers and sisters Bill (Helen), Roz (Bev), Garry, Ed (Debbie),
Pat (Joe), Andy (Joan), and many nieces, nephews and cousins. A funeral
service will be held Friday July 4 at 2:00 p.m. at the Resthaven Seventh-Day
Adventist Church, 9300 Willingdon Road, Sydney West (off McTavish Road
toward the airport). In-lieu of flowers, please include The ALS Society of
BC and Victoria Hospice in your charitable giving. Most important of all,
please spend time with your loved ones making special memories. 481242
