FRANK HANLAN WARD
Date posted:
OBITUARY AND MEMORIAL SERVICE NOTICE
Frank Hanlan Ward was born in Toronto August 24, 1926, and died January 9 age 94 in Burnaby, B.C. He is predeceased by sisters Mary and Jean, brothers Tommy and Harry, eldest son Tom (2017); survived by his “Beloved” wife Elizabeth; children James (Dulce), Helen, Ian; grandchildren Kurt, Santiago, Nicole, Tomas, Praise.
Frank graduated from Toronto Bible College in 1947, and the University of Western Ontario. He completed theology at New College, Edinburgh, preached in Scotland, and rebuilt Iona Abbey. He married Elizabeth in 1956. They returned to Ontario to the United Church charge of Apsely, Woodview, Lasswade, then moved to Oshawa’s Westmount (Centennial) church. In 1966 they drove their young family to Burnaby, BC, to serve in Willingdon Heights until retirement in 1987. Frank encouraged us to “fight the good fight.”
His faith embraced politics, nature, arts. He welcomed people of all nations and stations, partnering with Chief Dan George and the Burnaby Interfaith Fellowship, and was chaplain in Oakalla women’s prison. He dedicated the home in Maple Ridge to wildlife. Frank enjoyed music – especially Elizabeth’s singing, long walks, jogs, and swims. He cheered family’s sports and music. He was a history encyclopedia, supported Filipino prisoners, joined political parties, ran for office, and sat on the Burnaby Planning Committee. He and Elizabeth traveled from S Africa to Dene Nation which Frank photographed.
He read widely, pursued family history, camping, bear-watching, ice-cream, and family togetherness. Frank’s calm presence, quiet acts of service, generosity, laugh, goodness, and wisdom are deeply missed. A memorial celebration of life will be held Sunday August 22 at 2pm at The Haven 21968 132 Avenue in Maple Ridge, BC. Contact Helen: 604-291-0088 or hwishere@yahoo.com.

Rev. Harold W. Jenner
Date posted:
Rev. Harold W. Jenner was born in 1934, in Charing Cross, ON, and died on July 12, 2021, in North Vancouver, B.C. In the same way God’s love is beyond comprehension, words alone cannot testify to the full life of Harold Jenner. Words were his craft. The loss of words truly impacted the days before death released him from the immobility and silence of a massive stroke.
As a son and brother, words shared heritage and taught a myriad of useful skills on the rural family farm.
As a minister, words provided guidance and comfort, wisdom and humour as he preached his way westward from Macklin Sask., to Okotoks and Red Deer, Alta. to North Vancouver, Kamloops and Gabriola Island, BC.
As husband to his beautiful bride Nancy Caverhill, words written and spoken gave witness to a complete devotion that lasted until death parted them in 2017.
As a neighbour, words spoken over coffee, tea or cocoa forged friendships that endured time and distance.
As a member of the community his voice rang out in musical theatre and choir, politics and even on the golf course.
As a father, uncle and grandfather, his words crafted stories of beloved-ness, particularly marvelling at the way his great grandson learned to use words.
Words completely fail to express the breadth and meaning of Harold Jenner’s life, but all who knew him can speak to his being a good man.
A service to remember Harold takes place Saturday, August 21, 2021, at Lynn Valley United Church. Find details at www.lynnvalleychurch.com
