Tributes

Jean Jefferson, LUT

July 6 , 1928 - July 17, 2024
Jean was a vital force in Unity Spiritual Centre (Hamilton). She served as treasurer and then president of the board of directors. Jean also became an LUT and wedding officiant. Her constant smile and welcoming ways will be missed. Jean always claimed that one of the keys to her longevity was Having A Good Time.

Jim Cliffe, LUT

Transition at age 94
Jim was a long-time member of Unity of New Westminster where he was the pianist. He also led the music program there for many years. As a Licensed Unity Teacher, Jim led the ministry through several transitions. His inspirational messages, his wisdom, and his gentleness are remembered fondly.

Rev. Austin Hennessey

February 22, 1940 - July 24, 2024
Unity Vancouver recalls Rev. Austin's delightful humour and hearty laugh. His life’s mission was to teach love, share wisdom and uplift people. In his ministry, his kind and loving energy touched thousands of lives, inspiring everyone he met with his grace, humour, love, and kindness.
