Gina Zanier
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of their sister, aunt and great aunt Gina Zanier on Thursday, November 12, 2009. Gina was born in Trail, B.C. on December 01, 1931. Predeceased by her father Giordano, mother Maria, nephew Steven and great niece Kailee.

After moving to Vancouver, she maintained her many Trail friendships by frequent phone calls and visits. Family was everything to Gina. She always acknowledged the birthdays and anniversaries of her nephews and nieces and great nephews and nieces with phone calls, cards and gifts. Gina will be remembered by all her family and friends in Trail and Vancouver for her loving caring generous ways. She was always there for everybody celebrating the good times and being supportive when ever it was needed. She was our Vancouver “Mom” for all her nieces and nephews who ventured from Trail to Vancouver. She was devout in her religion and this brought her comfort and strength throughout her illness.

Father Peter Sordi will celebrate the Funeral Mass at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, November 20th at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, 525 Slocan Street, Vancouver, B.C. Cremation will follow and there will be a burial at a later date in Trail, B.C. In lieu of flowers, the family would perfer you to make donations to the B.C. Cancer Foundation or K.B.R.H. Health Foundation, 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, B.C., V1R 4M1. The family wish to thank the staff of Mt. St. Joseph’s Hospital for the care given to Gina, also to all her friends for their help and support. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.bellburnaby.com

Dear Loretta, Reno, Diana, Jim and families,
I was sorry to hear of Gina’s passing. I always liked her so much. Whenever she was home and we’d meet somewhere, she was always so cheerful and so caring about how my family and I were doing. She’d remember everything, and would refer to different things I had told her months earlier. Always interested and always with a smile.
I know she’ll be missed by all of you.
Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Norma
