1973 – 2016

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce that Hannah Joy Perris of Savona, BC passed away peacefully on September 11, 2016 at 43 years of age. She is survived by her loving husband, Jason and their two children, Elijah and Ebany; siblings: Dameon Lorensen (Robyn) of Langley, Caleb Lorensen of Everett, WA. Abra Lorensen (predeceased), and Mother and Father, Derril and Lynne Lorensen of Kamloops.
Born in Winchester, California, Hannah moved to Pink Mountain, BC at 3 months old with her parents and two other siblings at the time, and then moved to Savona in 1980. Hannah graduated from Kamloops Secondary School in 1991. Hannah met Jason in 1992 at the age of 19 and they never looked back. With the help of Elvis, they married at the Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas in 1995, enjoying over 21 years of marriage.
Her proudest achievement was raising her two children Elijah (22) and Ebany (19). She was very active in the sports community, volunteering as needed with her kid’s numerous sports activities. She spent over 12 years on the Kamloops Minor Hockey Board in a variety of roles, including Vice-President.
Hannah faced her life challenges head on; sharing her kind, joyful spirit along the way. Her family is so grateful to have her in their life, and anyone that knew her, would understand why. While her presence will be sorely missed, her joy and love she shared will continue through those whose lives she touched.
A Celebration of Hannah’s life will take place at noon on Tuesday, September 20th, 2016 at St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral , 360 Nicola Street, Kamloops, with The Very Reverend Kenneth J Gray presiding, with a short reception to follow. Special thanks to her many friends and family for their unwavering support as well her Health Care Team at RIH and the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.
