Born in Nanaimo, BC, Hap will be lovingly remembered by daughters, Suzanne (Garry) Sutton, Roslyn (Dwayne) Peleshaty and son, David (Anneli) Bramley; grandchildren, Troy (Jennifer) and Kirk (Allison) Sutton, Chase, Connor and Colby Peleshaty, Rachel and Drew Bramley; great-grandchildren, Sienna, Dean, Olivia and Elsa. Beloved wife for 62 years of the late James H. (Jim) Bramley.
She was a Wife, Mom, Auntie, Gran and GG-ma, friend and spirit lifter, artist, sculptor, creator of stained glass, author, poet, swimmer, go-cart builder, bridge player, traveller, seamstress, gardener, and master of the Sunday night roast beef dinner … golf was in her marriage contract.
Mom was colourful ~ her art, her personality, and her language. This planet will not be the same without her and we’re sure there was a party at the gates as she arrived. We will miss her terribly, but know her bright light will shine on.
A celebration of her life will be held at the Uplands Golf Club on Saturday, July 27th, 2019 at 2:00 pm.
Flowers graciously declined. Those so wishing may make a donation in memory of Hap to their charity of choice.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Hi there, I found a piece of art Loraine made so I just wanted to post on here in case anyone would like it back for sentimental reasons. It says “eternity” in Kanji. Please reach out if you’d like it back. I hope people say such nice things about me when I’m gone as I’ve been reading in these obituaries ♥️
David, Roslyn, Suzanne and the entire family,
I was sad to learn of your Mom’s passing. She was a spectacular woman! I have nothing but wonderful memories of her. Amongst her many talents were her Christmas trees. I will always remember how beautiful she made them.
‘Tenderly, may time heal your sorrow. Gently, may friends ease your pain. Softly, may peace replace heartaches. And may warmest memories remain.’
From the Victoria High School Graduation Class of ’48. We have lost a ‘bright’ light. Last November at our yearly luncheon, we celebrated the 70th re-union of our 1948 Graduation. Hap has been a great supporter and always a joyful participant. Sincere condolences are extended to her family. Bob Clarke / Committee Chairman.
Dear David, Suzanne and Roslyn, So very sorry that the fire spark of Duart Rd. has left us. Happy always made me feel welcome if we were rushing into your home to visit Dave. I admire the determination that she put into her artwork over the years. All three of you carry the same sparkle that she passed down and what a gift that is! Sincerely Janis Blyth and Family.
