RIP Hilary Everitt

It is with sadness that we mark the untimely passing of Hilary Everitt, from Ladysmith, Vancouver Island on Friday Dec 18th. We will never forget her contribution as a hardworking volunteer to CeltFest for many years.  Our love and prayers go out to the family of Sandy Jasper (Steve Tozer), Hilary's daughter, and longtime CeltFest artist and friend. We were there to attend the celebration of Hilary's life this Wednesday, November 23 at the Chemainus Legion. Rene unveiled the pipe tune he wrote in her honour. There was a standing room-only crowd to celebrate her amazing life. (photo left: Hilary with Will Millar on the field of  the CeltFest 2004 Sunset & Stars Concert).
