Tribute
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Chanda, loving wife, daughter, mom and sister. Chanda joined the angels at the young age of 49. She fought a quick, valiant battle with cancer. During this time of pain and disbelief, Chanda showed amazing courage and grace.
Chanda was born May 10, 1972, in Vancouver, BC to Jim and Bobbi Dalziel. The family moved to Chemainus, BC when Chanda was a toddler where Chanda was raised and still remained. Through Chanda’s school years, she made and maintained many beautiful lasting friendships. In her 20’s, she had and loved her two sons Chance and Brandon unconditionally. During Chanda’s working career, she was nominated for the “Cowichan Valley Black Tie Awards”; while working at Utopia Bakery. On August 19, 2016, she married her soulmate Kevin Hawkes and gained another son Kache. On February 17, 2017, Chanda became the proudest Granny to a beautiful granddaughter Kylie. In 2020, Chanda worked hard and received her H.C.A. Certificate, and during this time, she also passed her class 4 driver’s license, she was so very proud of herself. She loved working with her clients through Clements Society. Chanda found strength and courage through her many years with AA, and with the groups compassion, support and encouragement Chanda maintained her sobriety.
Chanda had a passion for art; where she tried her hand at many different mediums, which her family and friends admired. She had a passion for scenic and family photography, music, road trips, sandwiches, ice cream treats and especially family time.
