Parcourez la nécrologie de Lenore Ethel Purdy 2024 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles
September 7, 1928, North York, Ontario – July 28, 2024, Windsor, Ontario.
Daughter of Roy and Pearl (Walker) Eaton, and the youngest among a large extended family, Lenore grew up in Toronto and Hamilton, with happy summers on the Burlington farm of a much-loved aunt and uncle.
A gifted vocalist from an early age, Lenore sang in choirs through much of her life. Her marriage to United Church minister Lawrence (Lawrie) Purdy in 1950 started a partnership full of love and laughter that lasted 48 years. Lenore’s warmth made the Purdy home a welcoming space for the family’s many friends, both in Canada and during four years with the church in Trinidad and Tobago. Lenore thrived in the often overlooked job of clergy spouse, an essential albeit unpaid anchor of the congregations they served.
After retiring, Lenore and Lawrie spent as much time as possible at their lakefront cottage, often with their kids and grandkids. With Lawrie’s death in 1998, Lenore moved graciously into the role of family matriarch, living independently until moving in 2014 to a Windsor retirement residence. Throughout her life, Lenore’s first thought was for other people, not only for family and her many dear friends but also for the caregivers and staff who helped her as her needs increased. She left this life peacefully, secure in the knowledge that she had both loved well and been deeply loved.
Lenore will be greatly missed by the family she treasured: children Jennifer (John Palmer), Joanna (Peter Bell) and Lawrence (Pippa Lawson), grandchildren Aaron Palmer (Amy Palmer), Lydia Palmer, Joseph Bell (Kathleen Burzycki) and Justin Bell (Victoria Maria) and great-grandchildren Ophelia, Imogen and Lysander Palmer.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 1, 2024 from 1pm until a Celebration of Life service at 2pm, all being held at Families First – South Windsor (3260 Dougall Ave, Windsor Ontario, 519 969 5841). Cremation to follow.
