Obituary of Vera HONER

May 15, 1931 – Salford, Lancashire, England           
May 7, 2021 – Calgary, Alberta

It is with heavy hearts and much love that we say goodbye to our beloved mom and nana Vera Honer.  Vera passed away peacefully on Friday, May 7, 2021 at Agecare Midnapore, where she had resided for the past four years, prior to that mom had lived in both Strathmore and Calgary.

Born in Salford, Lancashire UK on May 15, 1931 and immigrated to Canada in 1959, Vera was an extraordinarily skilled seamstress and worked as a supervisor at White Ram Knitting until her retirement. She had a soft spot for cats, dogs, reading and tea, with a good cup of tea being her answer to whatever ailed you.

Vera is survived by her son Stephen Honer (Joanne), daughter Annemarie Fontaine (Luc) and her grandchildren, Ryan, Steve, Ross, Danielle, Soleil, Aaron and Amanda.

Vera was predeceased by her husband Henry Honer in 1993 and grandson Kyle Gillard in 2012.

Vera will be fondly remembered as a kind, sweet gracious lady and Agecare Midnapore staff will remember her for her active nature, always on the move. Many thanks to all the staff on Somerset Ward for their patience and dedication to keeping the residents all safe during trying times and the love and compassion they showed every day to mom. 

No service will be held at this time, family celebration of life to be held at a future date. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared and viewed on Vera’s obituary at www.McInnisandHolloway.com.

In living memory of Vera Honer, a tree will be planted in the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek, 14441 Bannister Road SE, Calgary, AB T2X 3J3, Telephone: 403-256-9575.
