er goodwill lives on

By BETTY BARTON UANITA HATTON was the fairy gad- mother of the unem- ployed and the un-

derprivileged in Terrace.

On January 7, 1994, in Mills Memorial Hosptial, she passed away at the age of 79, She was

born on September 22, 1914 in,

Niagara Falls.

Juanita was known to bark a few orders and wrestle like a bulldog with those who ob- stracted her plans.

But she had a heart of gold and lived by the Golden Rule,

Juanita’s philosophy was. ‘to do without something yourself if it’ll help somebody clse. 1 believe that and do that.’

And right to the end, she did.

On December 24, Juanita com- pleted her 25th Christmas Golden Rule Goodie Bag grocery distrib- ution to 133 needy Terrace resi- denis,

Almost single-handedly, she raised funds through the annual

Goodie Bag raffle with prizes generously donated by local mer- chants.

She was a fixture in the Skeena Mall each November and Decem- ber flogging the raffle tickets,

Since her arrival in Terrace in 1960, Juanita Hatton played an active role in the development of Terrace.

She was president of the Ter- race and District Chamber of Commerce for one term. She worked on plans to re-open the hotsprings resort at Lakelse Lake. She.ran the Golden Rule Employ- ment Agency for 13 years.

Juanita was honoured as a recipient of a Canada 125 medal in honour of the country’s 125th birthday in 1992,

Juanita was well-known for her staunch support of the Liberal Party.

She ran as a candidate in the 1991 provincial election in the face of protesis by her executive that she was too old,

She was also a life member of

the federal Liberal Party,

Juanila Lorraine Hatton (nec Fernandez) is survived by her only daughter, Blossom Garrow of St. Thomas, Ontario and pre- deceased by her son David (ia Quesnel when he was 13 years old). She leaves four grand- children and ooine — great- grandchildren, Juanita visited with all but one great-grandchild when she travelled back east last fall for Jean Chretien’s swearing- in ceremony as Prime Minister.

Everyone who knew her had at least one ‘‘Juanita story’’. She'll be missed, but her memory and the goodwill of her work will live on,

A memorial service was held for Juanita L. Hatton at the Sacred Heart Parish, Friday, Jan- uary 14, 1994 at 2 pm. Many thanks to Betty Ruksys and the Catholic Women’s League and all who offered assistance or aided Juanita Hatton and the Golden Rule Society over the past 25 years.

UNITED CHUR

New minister can

MICHAEL HARE is experienc- ing a bit of culture shock these days.

The culture shock of returning to anglophone society, that is.

The new minisier at Knox United Church comes here from a posting in Trois-Rivicres, Quebec, where he spent ihe last three years giving bilingual ser- vice,

Skeena is still frontier country compared to la Belle Province, and. that’s probably the biggest contrast for Hare.

“It's different, being in Quebec where history’s 300 years old and coming back to B.C. where at least while history is barely 100 years old.”

He won't feel isolated, how- ever.
