May Given

The Board is sad to report that May Given has passed away peacefully at the age of 93, in hospital with family by her side. May's sense of humor, her warm and caring nature were appreciated by all, she made everyone feel comfortable in her presence. May grew up in Saskatchewan where she met and married Stewart, the love of her life for 58 years. Both May and Stewart were made Honourary HCC Members in 2015 in recognition of their significant and lengthy contributions to the Club. She and Stewart were anchors in organizing many leagues and bonspiels that continue, the Give’nTake league being a prime example. May was very proud of her family and her Icelandic Heritage; she travelled twice to Iceland to meet extended relatives. She learned Icelandic in her childhood home, understanding and speaking it throughout her life. May hung up her broom in 2020 after a lifetime of curling in clubs across Canada. Huntley was blessed to have her in our fold, she will be sorely missed by all. Our condolences to all her family, many friends and curling colleagues.
