Patricia Hegan
September 9, 1931 - June 21, 2023
It is with great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Patricia Hegan (nee Gorman). Pat
was sadly predeceased by her husband Denis in 1989 and brother Terry ( Irene and children
Michael, Rory & Tracy) in Australia.
Mum was born in Quetta, India to Dr. James & Kathleen Gorman and grew up in Northern
Ireland. She met and married Denis in 1957 and they bravely moved away from their families to
live in Canada. Toronto was their home for 18 years before the family moved to Richmond, BC,
where Pat and Denis made many new friends and met some of their relatives. After Denis's
sudden passing, Pat moved to Sechelt to be closer to her family. Both her Sechelt and Quesnel
grandchildren benefited greatly from her love and attention.
Mum lived in Sechelt for 20+ years enjoying lawn bowling, curling, gardening, walking, chair
yoga and volunteering for various organizations. After she moved to Christenson Village, she
enrolled in the art classes, offered weekly and produced some beautiful paintings.
She will be greatly missed by her daughter Maggie Marsh and grandsons, Ryan, Graham and
Andrew Marsh and by her son Victor (Sandy) Hegan, grandchildren Lianna (Kris), Shawn Hegan
and her great - grandson Aiden Konopka.
Special and heartfelt gratitude to all the staff at Christenson Village who cared so lovingly for
Mum over the last few years. A special thank you to Val who faithfully visited Mum. The family
will have a private gathering for Mum at a future date.
