(Hanson) MacPherson, Valerie - Avis de décès | Timiskaming Funeral Cooperative

(HANSON) MACPHERSON, Valerie

1956 - 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Valerie Mae MacPherson on Friday, March 29th. Born in Kirkland Lake in 1956, ‘Val’ is predeceased by her parents Harris and Olive Hanson and survived by her devoted sister Linda (husband Stephen Halfpenny). Forty-eight years ago this summer she married her highschool sweetheart, Ian. They have a loving daughter Skye (husband Alan Laferriere). She is the proud aunt of three nieces, Amanda, Alicia and Lindsey and has been an engaged great-aunt.

Valerie was a natural entrepreneur. In the Spring of 1977, upon completing her post secondary studies, she and Ian went into the restaurant business in Kenogami. She also soon became a very successful sales associate for Weekender Ladies Wear Ltd., facilitating home fashion shows across Northeastern Ontario. In early 1986 she would again partner with Ian, taking over and expanding another Kenogami business that still carries the name, MacPherson’s General Store. She opted for an early retirement in 2014.

Valerie is a past president of the Beta Zeta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. Until recently when her health began to fail, her dedication to her community had few limits. She will be remembered as a tireless fundraiser and organizer of many community projects and events in the Kenogami area. She also volunteered her skills in the management of Kenogami’s community hall. She gave her time during several of Kirkland Lake’s various reunions and more recently, she has lent a hand to events on Sesekinika Lake where she cottaged, kayaked, snowshoed, skied and found her inner peace.

What Valerie has accomplished in life has been done with a pure heart and little fanfare. She leaves her loving family and her dedicated friends with fond and lasting memories. It was her wish that we come together for a gathering at Kenogami’s community hall to “join her in spirit”, from 2 until 4pm on Saturday April 13th , 2024.

Her family is most grateful for the many who gave Valerie care over the multiple years of her battles with Cancer. You truly were her angels. Thank you.

My heart is broken to hear of Val’s passing. As a teen, I worked for Mac & Val at the Edgewood and Gallopping Glutton restaurants as so many of us growing up in Kenogami did. Wonderful memories with wonderful people. Winters, skiing and lazy hazy summer days.

Val you are so loved and will be missed with your infectious, beautiful smile, mentorship and community leadership.

Sincere condolences to Mac and Skye, your families. So much love and hugs being sent your way. You will be missed Val.

Sincerely,
Angie

I am so sad to hear of Val’s passing. As I teen, Val and Ian gave me my first summer job as a short order cook (much to my mother’s amusement) at the Edgewood Restaurant. After leaving the North in my early 20’s, it seemed that every time I ventured to the area , I would see Mac and Val, first at MacPherson’s and then at Sesekinika. Val always greeted me like an old friend, always interested to hear about my family and my life. Her smile and genuine interest in others lit up the room.
What a loss for you both, Ian and Skye, your extended family and for the communities of Kenogami and Sesekinika.
Sincere condolences,

Mac, Skye and Val's extended family

I am sending my most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Val. This lady was so kind and warm, if you were in her presence, you just knew her. She hired me 45 years ago to be a waitress at the Edgewood as a 15 year old kid and from there I graduated to working alone and also in the "Galloping Glutton". What a great job, mostly because of our co-workers who mentored us along, and also because of who Val & Ian were. They encouraged, supported, helped and guided us, until we knew what they would do, as they enjoyed the few hours they took for their own life. I mean, remember the bubbles Mac, when I absent mindedly put dish soap in the commercial dishwasher and we ended up with bubbles from one end of that kitchen, around corners and under everything....I was so scared I would get fired, maybe it crossed your mind but it didn't end that way. Because of who you both were. Learning along side you both how to treat people, and how to treat employees was huge. I appreciated you then, and very much as I got older, remembered many experiences at your place as good life lessons. You never know in life how much you touch people's lives. I am so glad to have you both touch my life. I am so very sorry for you to both, to lose somone who was so special. Rest in peace Val.

What a loss to the Kenogami community. She will be missed for both her entrepreneurial spirit and vivacious personality.

Ian and Skye and families

Wow … where to begin? How about with that smile … just so infectious. Witnessed it over and over while working at the Edgewood ( there was the occasional frown cuz of something my sister did).
Val was a great employer and then later in life when we bumped into one another it was as if we hadn’t missed a beat. Always pleasant, always asked about family and always parted with a til next time.
Condolences just don’t seem like enough for someone who gave so much.
Rest peacefully Val .. you have earned it.

To Ian and Skye

For starters my deepest sympathy for your loss. Val was a beautiful soul and then I purchased many many many things at MacPherson’s. She would say: “Michelle that colour looks fabulous or that colour does not look good on you. She was honest with my purchases and knew what suited me in colour and style. Val I am going to miss you so much. Words can’t express my aching heart. You were a gem and I loved you so much. Had such nice time exercising with you at the Ukrainian church downstairs when they had a fitness class at one time. And we would have both our mats side by side working out. Val you rest now and until we meet again on the other side.

My condolences on your loss of such a special person. Val's wonderful taste was reflected in the beautiful selection of items she made for the store. She was a wonderful asset to Kenogami and Sessikinika and will be greatly missed.

Clarke and I wish to express our deepest sympathy. Mac and Val introduced us to life in the North- canoeing, fishing, blueberries, visiting the dump to see the bears-so many memories from many years ago. Pure in heart, full of love and light, kind and caring, Val was one of a kind. She made our world a better place. We look forward to her gathering later today. ️
