(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.
