BC Athletics Mourns the Loss of Three From Athletics Community

Marion Crowley
May 11th, 1924 – September 3rd, 2018

It is with great sadness that BC Athletics announces the passing of Marion Crowley – Club Builder (Vancouver Olympic Club), Event Volunteer, Official, and passionate supporter of Athletics in British Columbia. Her volunteer efforts, generosity and friendship were unending. Strong and loyal to Athletics and Football – through rain, snow and sunshine – qualities displayed in all of her activities. Always interested in how others were doing and how she could contribute. A member of the BC Athletics Hall of Fame (1987), Marion will be missed by many.

A Celebration of Life for Marion will take place on Sunday September 30. You may let the family know you are attending at the following link.

 

Derek Edward Hodge

It is with great sadness that BC Athletics announces the passing of Derek Hodge.  Derek was a member of the Pacific Road Runners and served many years as a board member of the Vancouver International Marathon Society. Derek was the sole proprietor of “Hodge-Podge”. His antique business, like its name, honoured beauty and function from every era.
