Obituary of Joan Mary Lenoch

(nee Roberts)

1925 - 2013

Joan Mary Lenoch, mom and grandma, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at home in the Joseph Creek Care Facility in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 87 years of age.

Joan was born on October 10, 1925 in Sourbridge, England and mom was proud of her British heritage "I was born British as she used to say." She was a fearlessly independent and dignified lady, but also a loving mom and grandma. We will miss her.

Joan is survived by her daughter Gretchen (Art) Bryant; grandsons Jason (Stacy) and Brett (Kendra); great grandchildren Colt, Beau, Gage, Olivia, Whitney and Lehtyn Bryant; one brother Derek (Audrey) Roberts of England; nieces and nephews and a very special friend Josie Templeton. She was predeceased by her husband Ken Lenoch in 1975, her brother John Roberts and her sister Muriel Hughes.

A memorial service for Joan will be held on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 2:00 pm at the All Saints Anglican Church in Kimberley (360 - Leadenhall Street). Those wishing to make a memorial donation in Joan's honour may do so to the: Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank Society, 340 - Leadenhall Street, Kimberley, British Columbia, V1A 2R6 or the: Kimberley Special Care Home, 386 - 2nd Avenue, Kimberley, British Columbia, V1A 2Z8.
