Hannah Hanako Tabata
January 3, 1925 – December 23, 2022
Hannah Tabata passed away peacefully on December 23, 2022 at her home at Kamloops Seniors Village. She was days away from her 98th birthday. Hannah was blessed with remarkable health throughout her lifetime.
Mom was a kind and gentle soul; a caring wife, mother and grandmother who always put her family first. She worked closely with her husband Harry on many volunteer initiatives, including the formation of the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association. Her Christian faith was a constant throughout her life.
Mom was a wizard in the kitchen. She and Dad hosted many fabulous dinner gatherings for friends and family. As was typical of her generation, and long before the development of official recycling programs, she diligently reduced, reused, and recycled practically everything. As a working mother for many years, Hannah was employed at Drew Sawmill and later at BMO. While enjoying retirement, she and Dad traveled extensively to Asia, the United States and central Canada.
Mom and Dad were skilled gardeners, producing nutritious food for the table and colourful, fragrant flowers that pleased the senses. Mom also excelled at creating an array of handicrafts, all while enjoying the comradery of friends.
Hannah, along with her three siblings were born in Vancouver to Kanejiro and Nobu Kawai. She and her family were interned to the B.C. interior in 1942. Following their release, the family moved to Montréal. Hannah and Harry were married in 1950 and made Kamloops, B.C. their forever home.
Hannah is survived by her children Joy Voykin and Les (Colleen) Tabata, sister Jenny Onodera and sister-in-law Toshiko Kawai, grandchildren Dean (Jess) Voykin, Spencer Voykin, Nicola Tabata (Logan Scott), and Aiden Tabata. She was very proud of her great grandchildren Rhys and Quinn Voykin. Hannah’s extended family consists of numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She is predeceased by her loving husband Harry, son-in-law Stan Voykin, sister Jane Ebata, brother Ted Kawai, brothers-in-law Jim Onodera, Toyo Ebata, Saburo Tabata, Takao Tabata, Takeo Nakano and sisters-in-law Fumiko Nakano and Nobue Tabata.
Hannah moved to Kamloops Seniors Village in 2011. She appreciated the compassionate care provided to her by the dedicated staff. The family also sincerely thanks Dr. F. Kruger, and the Royal Inland Hospital renal clinic for their kindness and support.
A memorial gathering to honour her long and meaningful life will be held in Kamloops on a date to be determined.
