It is with saddened hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our mother Donna Andrea Hewson, age 66, on January 31, 2016.
Born in Fort William on September 28, 1949 to Pearl and Andrew Hewson. She is survived by her 4 children Kevin Hladysh, Lisa (Russell) Tienhaara, Keith Hladysh, and Nikolas Hewson. Grandchildren Andrew and Kaley Tienhaara, Emma (Hladysh) Debnam, Brianna and Brooklyn Hladysh (Oinonen) and Chloee and Colten Hladysh (Couzelis).
Also survived by sisters Janet Hewson and Lorna (Ernie) Morrison, and brother William (Janice) Hewson.
Predeceased by her sisters June Hewson and Evelyn Partington, as well as her parents.
Andrea attended Francis Street and Kingsway schools and graduated from Selkirk High School. Worked at Calgary Medical Laboratories, Canada Employment and Immigration, and Bombardier prior to her final love of breeding and grooming dogs. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, voting member of the C.K.C. and Connaught Lodge #9 Order of the Eastern Star.
Her family, close friends, her cocker spaniels and shih tzu’s, crafts, gardening, journaling, dancing and travel were what she loved the most.
With respect to our mother’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and her celebration of life will take place at a later date.
Donations in memory of Andrea can be made to any local animal rescue or shelter.
“Love you forever MOM.”
