HAMDEN (NÉE HATAM), Ishey
1926 – 2021
Peacefully our mom, stepmom and grandmother (Situ) at the age of almost 95 years old passed away in the early morning of March 6, 2021.
She was born on March 10, 1926, in Karaoun, Lebanon and was married to our dad, Charles Hamden after his first wife Jenny (Hallick) passed away at an early age. After their marriage in Lebanon, they settled in the bustling mining town of Kirkland Lake and we’re blessed with three girls, Norma, Christine and Diane. Although she was not educated and could not read or write in English or Arabic, she loved her new peaceful country of Canada and brought her amazing talents with her. She was a concrete fabricator, Lebanese chef, seamstress, log splitter, gardener and operated a bait store in the basement of our home.
She is pre-deceased by her loving husband Charles, stepson Alec and beautiful daughter Norma Evans.
She has left behind her daughters Christine Davis (Wayne), Diane Werry (Kevin) and stepchildren Sid Hamden (Myrta), Gord Hamden (Elaine), Mariam Ewles (late Don and George) and many grandchildren.
Mom and Situ will always be remembered and loved as that enthusiastic, beautiful woman who loved her family and life, loved being a Canadian and being a mother to her three girls.
In lieu of flowers please donate to the Alzheimer’s Society and Breast Cancer Awareness.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of HAMDEN NeE HATAM Ishey 1926 2021..
