Jutta was born April 12, 1955, in Bremerhaven, Germany, to Werner and Erna Hinrichs. With her parents, she moved to Canada later that year, settling in Toronto. She attended Queen’s from 1974 to 1978, earning a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy.

Upon graduation, she moved to Calgary, where she worked at several facilities, including Calgary General Hospital, Alberta Children’s Hospital, Fanning Centre, and Foothills Hospital. In 2008, she was invited by the World Health Organization to an ICF conference in Switzerland to share her knowledge regarding best practices in multiple sclerosis (MS). In 2010 she was seconded to the University of Alberta to be the Calgary Clinical Education coordinator. This led to the establishment of a satellite campus of the University of Alberta Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine Occupational Therapy program in 2012. She was an associate lecturer for the department, as well as the Calgary and Southern Alberta Clinical Education coordinator for fieldwork placements.

In 2020 she earned a Master of Education in Health Sciences Education from the University of Alberta. As a respected member of her profession, she was a long serving member of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT), holding multiple volunteer positions in that organization. As evidence of the high regard of her colleagues, she earned the 1990 Alberta Association of Registered Occupational Therapists President’s Award, the 2006 Spirits of Gold Outstanding Community Volunteer Award (United Way), the 2014 CAOT Fellowship Award, and the 2024 SAOT Sharon Brintnell Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2002 she was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal for her MS work.

She fully retired from the University of Alberta in 2024. Beyond work, she was a valued and loved member of St. Barnabas Anglican Church, Calgary, volunteering with the parish in various capacities.

Her love of hiking led her to join the Slow and Steady hiking group. Not long before her tragic passing, she went on the trip of a lifetime to hike the Peruvian Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with hiking friend Virginia.

Her tragic death in a rockslide at Bow Glacier Falls in Banff National Park on June 19, 2025, has left family and friends devastated. With her at the time of her passing were several members of her hiking group, including Cindy, who comforted her in her final moments.

Jutta leaves behind many family members and friends, including her past life partner, Jill Stroud, and sisters, Eva Khan and Bettina Kern.

After a courageous battle with cancer, Carsten passed away peacefully at his home on Feb. 26, 2024, at the age of 81 years. 

Carsten, was the beloved husband of Brenda (née Black); loving father of Dana, Heather (Steve), Anika (Dean), and Carsten (Penny). He will be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Riley, Dylan (Victoria), Devin (Jenny), Kendra; and by his great-grandchildren, Mila, Addy, and Hunter. He was the dearly loved brother of Willy Jorgensen. He will be sadly missed by his sister-in-laws and many nieces and nephews. He was fondly known to many as “Carsten The Viking.”

Carsten dedicated 30 years to studying and managing fisheries for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. In 1996, he retired and enjoyed spending his time camping, canoeing, playing chess, board games, darts, doing Tai Chi, watching Star Trek and documentaries, and writing books.

Ian died peacefully at age 75 on April 8, 2025, at the Saint John Regional Hospital, from complications of a second stroke.

Born in Toronto, Ont., June 30, 1949, to Jack and Dora (née Guttormsson) MacFarquhar. Ian is survived by his wife of 40 years, Carole (née Linton); son, David; sister, Meredith (Ed Thompson); and numerous long-time friends.

After growing up in Scarborough Ont., Ian graduated from Queen’s in 1971 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He then began an impressive career focusing on broadband telecommunications (i.e. radio and television). After a five-year contract in Northern Ontario, he joined CUC Broadcasting in Scarborough, where he became VP, Engineering. He moved with his family to Saint John, New Brunswick, in 1995 to become VP of Engineering Technology at Fundy Cable, where he oversaw the rewiring of the provincial cable TV service. Ian was well known in the telecommunications industry, and in 1997 received the CCTA Galaxi Technical Award of Excellence. After leaving Fundy Cable, he established MCE Associates and accepted contracts all over the world before easing into retirement.

Always a tech guy, Ian got his amateur “ham” radio licence at age 16, becoming proficient in morse code. Ham radio remained a life-long passion, and he devoted many hours to promoting the hobby through national associations and in local clubs. He was an enthusiastic DJ for the Queen’s radio station. Ian was also a “gear head,” following Formula One racing intently and owning many hobby cars. He also owned at various times two airplanes, a Grampian sail boat and assorted motor boats.

But Ian wore many other hats. He had an eclectic passion for music ranging from 60s rock ‘n’ roll to the classics, serving for many years on the board of Symphony New Brunswick. He had a passion for politics and was a life-long self-described “red Tory”, working behind the scenes for both the provincial and federal Conservative parties. An arm-chair athlete, he resignedly suffered the misfortunes of the Toronto Blue Jays and Maple Leafs. Ian travelled widely with the family, exploring Canada and the U.S. and enjoying the U.K., Europe, New Zealand and India.

Ian’s keen intellect was enhanced by Icelandic drive and a strong moral compass. He was hard working, reliable, and disciplined. Beyond that, he was a dedicated father and spouse, fiercely proud of David, and always supportive of Carole.

On the morning of June 4, 2025, quickly after an eight-year battle with Parkinson's, George passed away receiving care at Montfort Hospital and finally hospice care in La Maison de l’Est in Ottawa.

Predeceased by his wife, Monica (nee McMonagle) of 55 years in 2014; his parents, Harvey and Clementine; and five of his six siblings. He is survived by his son, Ian (Amanda); his daughter, Lynn (Mus'90) (Scott Howes); and his three granddaughters: Amelia, Sarah, and Meghan.

Born in Mimico, Ont., and raised on a small farm in what is now Mississauga, Ont., he was the youngest of seven children. His upbringing during the late stages of the Depression and the Second World War was tough, but that upbringing is what shaped his outlook on life and shaped his character.

He was a scientist, focused on risk assessment and setting standards for provincial, federal, and international environmental safety. He received his education from Queen’s and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, resulting in his PhD from ����ֱ�� in 1962. He worked for Dow Chemical in Indianapolis, the Canadian Government in Ottawa, and then the World Health Organization in Copenhagen and in Geneva, Switzerland by way of Raleigh, North Carolina.

After a lot of travelling for work and pleasure, he and Mom retired to the Kingston area in 1995. Our Dad was a man of his word, which was reflected not only in his Queen’s friendships, his work and travels, meeting new colleagues, but also in how he lived his life with his wife and family. If he said he was going to do something you knew he would follow through.

Cremation has already taken place, and a private family ceremony will happen over the summer. In lieu of flowers, if you are able, please consider donating to either Parkinson's Canada, the Montfort Foundation or Hospice Care Ottawa. Or if you wish, play an old Hank Snow song and remember your own dad.
