Jill Marianne Hanney

Jill Marianne Hanney, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully at her home in West Vancouver on March 18th, 2021 at the age of 90, surrounded by her adoring family.

She is survived by her cherished husband of 70 years Ken, her four daughters Jane (Dave), Sara, Susan (Kevin), Kathryn (Roy), her eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Jill was born in Hounslow, England and her radiant energy was immediately apparent to anyone who met her, whether this was her treasured parents and grandparents, or all of her friends at her beloved Godolphin & Latymer School in Hammersmith. No one would ever say Jill lacked for energy, enthusiasm, kindness, songs, and laughter. After WW2, she met Ken at the Hounslow Cricket and Sports Club where they were introduced as tennis partners – and they remained partners for over 70 years. After immigrating to Canada in 1957 and finally settling in North Vancouver in 1971 with their four daughters, Jill became a vibrant fixture in the St. Clement’s Church, North Vancouver and Lynn Valley communities.

When it is possible to gather freely again, there will be a Service of Thanksgiving at St. Clement’s Anglican Church for Jill’s long life, lived in the service of God, her family, and the wider community.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC will be gratefully accepted.
