My sincere sympathy to Buddy’s family.
 I was born in Kapuskasing and Buddy’s  comment in my baby book was that i had very large hands and feet…the same is true over 70 years later!
She was my godmother and she sent me many thoughtful gifts over my childhood. Her excellent needlecraft skills on the prayer “Now I lay myself to sleep” decorated my bedroom walls for many years.
I took the train from Hearst to her home with her step sister Evy several times. We enjoyed babysitting her brood while Buddy and Bill had a get away.
A story that Evy told me explained how she got the name Buddy. Her mom lovingly wrapped her in a towel following her bath and commented that she looked like a rosebud. Sadly, her mother passed away when Buddy was 4 months old. Evy quit school to look after her 3 stepsisters, including my mother.
She will be greatly missed.

Heartfelt condolences to my cousins Allen,Steven,Christine and Nancy and there families in this time of grief and sorrow on the loss of your mother,grandmother and great grand mother and Aunt. Aunt Buddy will now be welcomed to Heaven and be with Uncle Bill and the rest of her Hansen familys and siblings who pre deceased her.Take care my cousins RIP Aunt Buddy Tom and Shirley and familys Kapuskasing On.

We will miss you, old friend. We often think of our good times we had cross country skiing and picking berries and camping,
Your Friends

I’m heartbroken over the loss of my Aunt Buddy.  I’ll always cherish our times together, from times at the cottage to girls’ trips in Petoskey. She filled those moments with so much laughter and love.  She always had such a cute giggle and a twinkle in her eyes.  My thoughts are with you.  It does make me smile though to think of Uncle Bill and my dad welcoming her with open arms !

With love, AnnLiz Simpson

We are so sorry and send our condolences to Buddy's family.  We lived next door to her in  apt #208 at Top O; The Hill.

Dear Allan,Stephen,Christine,Nancy and all of  “Buddy’s family and friends:
I have so many fond memories of Buddy from my days at St John’s Anglican Church.She was always so pleasant and great to talk with and of course like my mom was a Kapuskasing girl!
How fortunate you are to have had her in your lives for so many years and will have lots of happy memories to look back on now.
Thinking of you all,
Sincerely,
Laurel Young(nee Cartmill)

Sending heartfelt sympathy to Buddy’s family. May she rest in peace.

Our most sincere sympathy to all of Buddy’s family and friends on the loss of a wonderful, kind & caring person.  She will sure be missed. May many warm memories help to comfort you in the days ahead. 
After my mom passed away, I asked Buddy if she could be my adopted mom. We had many nice chats over the years and I will treasure those memories always. 
Cathy (Stanbury) and Alex McCulloch
