It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our amazing mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Ona Hackner. Ona passed away peacefully in her home on Friday, February 11, 2022 in her 92nd year.
She was born on the family farm just south of Sandford to Milbourn and Audrey Meek. She lived there with her siblings, Bob, Norman, Helen and Gerald until her marriage to the love of life, Bruce Hackner on November 1, 1950. Together they raised 6 children, Mary (Bastiaan), Arlene, Jim (Sandra), Leona (Tom), Donald (Dena), Stephen (Lisa). She was the loving grandmother of 21 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Mom loved her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and her family and we loved her. Mom's love reached beyond her immediate family to her siblings and their spouses, and Bruce's sister Ilah Weller, a multitude of nieces and nephews, cousins and her community. Whatever she set her hand to do, she did it with excellence. She will be greatly missed. Her unconditional love, her unfailing support and spiritual leadership will leave a great void in our lives. Mom was an outstanding cook and a great hostess. She was always offering food and a cup of tea to anyone who set foot in her house. Therefore, we thought it fitting to have any donations go to a food bank of your choice, Family Worship Centre which was her home church, Parkinson's Society or a
charity of your choice. A private family service has been entrusted to the Low & Low Funeral Home, 23 Main Street South, Box 388, Uxbridge L9P 1M8 (905-852-3073). Online condolences can be made at
