December 18, 1932 - April 21, 2022
The O'Hara/Dean families regret to announce the passing of their mother, Nellie O'Hara (Moufrage) who went to the Lord April 21, 2022.
Nellie was born in Montreal, Quebec on 18 December 1932 and was the youngest of 7 children, all of whom pre-deceased her. Her mother was from Lebanon, her father from Syria. Nellie lived with her husband, Thomas John O'Hara (currently residing at Valleyhaven), in Vancouver, BC; Calgary, Alberta; Soest, Germany; North Bay, Ont.; and for the past 45 years, in Chilliwack.
She is survived by her son Dan (Joanne), daughter Laura (Jim Dean) and son Shawn (Elizabeth), 9 grandchildren Shawn Dean (Shawna Lunt), Pat O'Hara (Margaret), Tracey Arsenault (David), Evan Dean (Victoria), Jessica O'Hara, Caitlin O'Hara, Arianne O'Hara, Evelynn O'Hara, Kassidy O'Hara; and 8 great grandchildren, Nolan Dean, Morgan Dean, Raiven O'Hara, Rowen O'Hara, Eleanor Dean, Riel Dean, Vernon Dean, Noelle Arsenault. She will be greatly missed by all of us.
The family expresses gratitude to Dr. Cameron Ross, the medical staff at Chilliwack General Hospital; to her dear friends, including Millie Farrell; and to the wonderful staff and residents at Chartwell Birchwood Retirement Residence who always made her feel at home! Funeral will be held at St. Mary's Catholic Church with burial to follow at their cemetery.
