Martin, Lenore Grace

Lenore passed away peacefully at the age of 91. Her mind was sharp but her body was tired. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter-in-law Lillian, her grandson Richard, and many nieces and nephews as well as other family members and friends. Lenore was predeceased by her husband Dick, her son Don, and her parents and 8 siblings.
Born in Bladworth, Saskatchewan to Katie and Tony Masich, Lenore often reminisced about the wonderful times she had with family. Lenore was adventurous and moved to Hazelton, B.C. with her sister, Kim, to pursue their teaching careers. It was in Hazelton she met her husband, Dick. They were overjoyed when their son, Don, was born. After a time in the north, they moved to Kamloops where the climate was more conducive for Lenore’s rheumatoid arthritis.
Traveling was a passion for Lenore and she went on numerous cruises all over the world. She also enjoyed music. A highlight was seeing Cher perform in Vegas. Lenore was also a great cook and she truly missed being in her kitchen preparing meals for family and friends. She made the best pies, jams, and pickles!
Lenore was an independent, strong-willed woman who spoke her mind. Because of her incredible memory, she was able to entertain us with stories of her life. She loved all her family but had a special place in her heart for her grandson, Richard. “One of a kind” is how her niece characterized her. What a fitting description. Lenore certainly was one of a kind! She will be dearly missed.
Heartfelt thanks to the excellent staff at Pinegrove for the care they provided. Lenore enjoyed the many activities and outings. Also, a sincere thank you to Dr. Doug Hamilton who was Lenore’s physician for years.
As requested, there will be no service. Lenore’s wish was that you raise a glass in her memory.
