It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Beverley Ann van Diepen (nee MacIntyre) of Green Meadows, PEI, age 70. The death occurred at Dr. John Gillis Memorial Lodge on November 23, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on October 17, 1955, Beverley was a cherished wife, mother, oma, sister, and friend.

Beverley's warm spirit and love for her family were central to everything she did. A career at Holland College allowed Beverley to touch many lives over the years, and her dedication for helping others made a lasting impact on those around her. Beyond her love of family, Beverley had a passion for shopping, and was known for her sense of style and her generous heart.

Beverley leaves behind her beloved husband, Casey; her five children, Adam, Steven (Colette), Tyler, Spencer (Becky), Emily (Sam); and her six grandchildren, Landen, Nevaeh, Elsie, Bodie, Louisa, Riley, each of whom brought her endless joy. She will also be dearly missed by her sisters, Karen (Ronnie) MacInnis and Maureen (Vance) Webster; sisters and brothers-in-law Johnny (Arlene) van Diepen, Alida (Dennis) MacEwen, and Peter (Patty) van Diepen. She is also survived by numerous friends and extended family members who will forever remember her kindness, her laugh, and the way she always made others feel special. Beverley was predeceased by her parents Cyrine and Kathleen MacIntyre, parents-in-law John and Louisa van Diepen, and sister-in-law Joanne (Joe) Gallant.

As she passed, Beverley was surrounded by her family, sharing stories and reminiscing about a life well lived. Her memory will live on in our hearts forever.

Louis Gerard MacInnis - St. Peters Bay

The death occurred suddenly at his home in Morell, formerly of St. Peter’s Bay, of Louis Gerard MacInnis, aged 63.

Survived by his siblings Ronnie MacInnis, Daniel (Etta) MacInnis, Edna (Harold) Miller, and Edith (Lefty) Dunn; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by his parents, Claude and Celia (MacKinnon) MacInnis; and by brothers, Brian and Arthur.

Memorial donations in Louis’ memory would be appreciated and may be made to the Eastern Kings Health Foundation for Addiction Services or to Kids Sport Prince Edward Island.

Louis lived a simple life. He was the third child of seven. Growing up, the 5 boys were a tight knit group who stuck together, except at home, where they could be typical brothers who rowed amongst themselves.

He was a great storyteller. There was no detail too small for his stories, and his animations made them all the funnier. He was fiercely competitive and loved sports, especially hockey. He had a passionate loyalty to the Habs and the Blue Jays. He believed in an honest day's work, he worked in the fishing, oil, and to***co industries. Throughout his life, he always painted and recently he worked on the road. He was humble, kind and generous. He loved the sun, and would sit outside for hours listening to the radio and smoking ci******es, much like his father had done.

Louis lived and worked in BC for 30 years. He recently moved back home to PEI in December 2023. He was happy to reconnect with the ocean, to go fishing and to get up to the Skunkhouse Beach. His family are grateful for the time they had with Louis to reconnect.

Kenneth Doran - Cambridge Ontario - St. Peters Harbour
It’s with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Ken Doran from Cambridge, Ontario. He was in the process of relocating to St. Peter’s Harbour, PEI where he had always dreamed of retiring. He passed as a result of a pulmonary embolism in each lung. Loving husband to Janis for 35 years, and proud father of Zoe and Keegan (Alissa). He will be missed dearly by all who knew him. Always the author and planner, Ken had thankfully prepared his own obituary, below:

"Well, after 63 years I’ve kicked the bucket. Though sad I’ve turned off the lights for good, I’m
thankful for the wonderful life I’ve had and no one deserves more gratitude for that than my
“partner/roommate” Janis. From the first day I laid eyes on my “Little Punk Rocker,” I knew my
life would be more enjoyable and adventurous with her by my side. Not only did she make my
life complete, she mothered our two fabulous children Zoe and Keegan. My daughter-in-law
Alissa has been a great addition to our family. I wish them all good health and happiness.
My late parents Lenore and Ron provided me with an upbringing that lacked for nothing, and my
in-laws Margaret and Dennis (late) Pickersgill were the loving backbone to my own family.
Though I didn’t see my sisters, Terry and Sandy, as much as I should have, our bond remained
strong since childhood. Of the friends I’ve had throughout my life none has been as cherished as
Bob “Bubba” Haid. From our university football days together to being the best man at each
other’s weddings, our get-togethers (especially on New Year’s Eve with Terri-Lynn) and our
cribbage games were always fun.
Though I’ve certainly drank and eaten too much too many times over my lifetime, I’ve enjoyed
life. I have always believed that life is better when you’re having fun or just chilling out. I’ve had
lots of great times along the way, playing varsity football with a great bunch of guys at the
University of Waterloo (graduating with a Recreation Studies degree in 1987), travelling to the
Caribbean, England, the U.S, Europe and the Maritimes. I've enjoyed canoeing, kayaking, cycling
and snowshoeing. As for jobs, I’ve been a “petroleum engineer”, to***co primer, pub bouncer,
group home worker, freelance sports reporter, liquor store employee and a published author,
although I spent most of my working life (over three decades) as a Recreation Therapist in
mental health hospitals.
Despite all my shenanigans, my greatest source of pride and happiness has been my family. So,
don’t shed any tears on my behalf, just lift a favourite drink in my memory. Now, take care,
enjoy life and bu**er off!”

A celebration of life will be held at a future date. If desired, donations in Ken’s memory may be made to
The Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences and memories can be shared at
www.northshorefuneralhome.ca.

“A life well lived will never be lost, as it stays forever in the hearts of those who love him.”

Jerry Webster - Christopher Cross - Alberta - Marie

On Friday, June 27, 2025, Jerry Webster of Christopher Cross, PEI, formerly of Alberta and Marie, PEI, lost his life in the blink of an eye, at the age of 49, doing what he loved best, driving a truck.

Jerry is survived by his brother, Randy, Charlottetown, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. His fur baby, Miss Angel, is sure missing her daddy. She was such a great companion and co-pilot in the truck.

Jerry was predeceased by his beloved parents, Ray and Hazel (nee Knox) Webster and dear Aunt Jean (nee Webster) Dingwell, all of Marie.

Life wasn't easy for Jerry. His dad died when Jerry was a teenager; his mom fifteen years ago. He missed them both so much.

Jerry moved out West years ago, but PEI was always calling him back, so eventually he moved home for good. He took a lot of teasing over the years but would just chuckle it away. He was stubborn, not afraid to try anything. The ideas he came up with and the things he would do on his own were amazing. He poured lots of sweat into building his dream home in Christopher Cross (in the area where his mother was raised and where
he had many relatives), little bits at a time, but eventually it was going to be finished, some say maybe in 2045? As much stuff as he gathered, everything had its place and was neat and tidy. He met many people throughout the years and left an everlasting
impression on each of them, whether it was good, bad or ugly. He had lots of buddies in Alberta and PEI. He will be missed by many.

A graveside service will be held at Midgell Cemetery on Friday, July 4, 2025 at 1:00 p.m., with reception to follow.
If desired, donations to help with Jerry’s funeral costs would be greatly appreciated and may be e-transferred to northshorefuneralhome@gmail.com.

“Fly high with the angels my friend. I hope your parents were there to greet you with open arms.”
