www.insideHALTON.com |OAKVILLE BEAVER |Thursday, November 17, 2016 |1 8 Halen Sawyer June 5,1931 -O ctober 6,2016 It is with great sadness we announce that Halen Sawyer passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family at the Oakville Hospital after a 12 month battle with pancreatic cancer. Mom was born in Chatham, Ontario and was the youngest of 5 children. Despite the challenges of grow ing up during the great depression and through the war years, she enjoyed a very happy childhood. After finishing high school Mom worked at Chatham Stenographic Service and the Chatham Board ofTrade. Mom met Dad when she was involved in a traffic accident and he was the police officer called to the scene. The family moved to Oakville in 1960 and as was typical of the time, Mom stayed home to raise the children while Dad was away all week at work. They believed busy children did not have time to get into trouble so life revolved around keeping the kids active in scouting, sports, music and part-time jobs. Mom was happiest when surrounded by family sharing a meal. She was a wonderful cook and a talented and creative knitter. She loved to gam ble and we all knew to stay away from the driveway at 6:30 on Monday nights to avoid being run over as she raced to bingo. Mom enjoyed trips to Casino Niagara and meeting with friends at Tim Hortons. She also enjoyed an active social life participating in seniors and church groups. Mom will be forever in our hearts. She loved, was loved, and will be sadly missed by family and friends. Predeceased by her husband Wayne, son William and daughter-in-law Mary Ellen Sawyer. Mom is survived by her children, John (Marianne) Sawyer, Susan (Pierre) Gagnon, Barb Parker and Patrick (Nancy) Sawyer, grandchildren,Theresa (Martin) Wardrop, Jam es Sawyer, Robert (Tiffany) Sawyer, Stephen (Kayla) Sawyer, Joey Gagnon, Calvin Sawyer, Nicholas Sawyer and great grandchildren, Connor Wardrop, Levon Sawyer and Nicole Sawyer. We would like to thank Dr. Mira Backo-Shannon and the staff at Lakeshore Place for the outstanding care they provided for Mom over the years. The family will be hosting a Celebration of Life at Munn's United Church, 5 Dundas Street East & Sixth Line, Oakville Ontario L6 H 7C 4 on Saturday, November 26 at 11:30 a.m. Anyone wishing to commemorate Halen's life is asked to make a donation in her name to Munn's United Church or the Salvation Arm y in Oakville.
