HEALY, Johanne Lee (n茅e Creveling)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Johanne Lee Healy, n茅e Creveling, on Thursday, March 3, 2011, at the age of 64.
Johanne was born in Blue Island, Illinois, was raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Vancouver in the 1960s. Johanne was above all a devoted and amazing mother and grandmother who put her family first. There was no greater source of pride for her than her children and grandchildren. Johanne was also a successful realtor, but she considered her greatest business success to be that so many of her past clients became dear friends. She was a lifelong learner, who was passionate about reading, politics, philosophy, art, and her faith. She will be remembered for her limitless generosity, as well as her quick sense of humour and fabulous sense of style. Johanne had grace in everything she did; even in her year-long struggle with cancer, she did not complain, but accepted every hardship with a positive attitude and found the bright side of each struggle. Johanne is lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her daughter, Kirsten Stolte (John), her sons, Christopher Stolte (Heidi) and Tyson Stolte (Megan), her brother, Robert Creveling, her four grandchildren, Sofia, Ian, Nadia and Katie, and her many, many friends. It is difficult to imagine a world without her. A Celebration of Johanne's life will be held on Friday, March 18th, 2011 at 1 p.m. at North 91原创 Community Church.
Memorial donations to the 91原创 Hospice Society are appreciated.
