Predeceased by her parents, Alexander and Catherine (Kelly) Aulin; husband of 55 years, Con Dubitz; brothers George and John Aulin and sister Ruth Bjornson.

Hannah was born February 7, 1920 in the Chase hospital. Her family lived in Chase Creek and she was the eldest of five children. She attended the Chase Superior School grades 1 - 12 and completed senior matriculation (grade 13) by correspondence studies. After leaving school, she worked in the telephone office in Chase, living with her grandmother Rosanna Bracken at the time.

She married Con Dubitz of Willingdon, AB in 1942. Her son Steven, was born in April, 1943. During the war years, she and Steven lived with Conís parents, Tom and Sandra Dubitz in Hairy Hill, AB while Con was in the army and stationed in the east. After the war the family returned to live in Chase Creek and later moved to the newly established VLA Flat in Chase, where Con built their home. A daughter Maxine, was born in 1947. The family later lived at Adams Lake and started the Indian Point Resort area with camping and trail rides. Hannah loved living on the lake and gloried in having family and friends visit and stay with her there. In 1964, they returned to the Chase home and Hannah worked at the Chase post office. Hannahís last years were spent at Ponderosa Lodge and Overlander Extended Care Hospital in Kamloops.

Hannah was a lifelong member of the Chase branch of the Catholic Women's League. She had many interests such as gardening, writing and her music. She was always ready to take on new projects and was a great mentor to the young ones who gathered around. Her sense of humor, love of animals and kindness were always evident - (blue food coloring in the mashed potatoes to surprise us - a puppy's cool nose on your cheek to kiss you awake in the morning, always room for extra at the table and in her heart). She made us know we could accomplish anything we wanted to in life.

Her strong faith and courage carried her through her last years with grace and dignity. She passed away June 24, 2012 at the age of 92 years.

We will miss her smile
and her love so much -
but we will always remember her.

A special thank you to Dr. D. Hamilton, Dr. T. Eccleston, Dr. C. Bantock and the incredible staff of Overlander Extended Care Hospital for their tender care.
