GILLESPIE, Lenore (nee Vine)  - February 1, 1927 – October 31, 2017

Lenore died peacefully in her sleep on October 31, 2017 at Belmont House, Toronto.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Hadden, wonderful son Hugh and dear brother Fred, Lenore will be missed by her loving daughters Nora and Mary Ellen, daughter-in-law JoAnne, son-in-law Jim Easto, sister Grace and her husband John Everett, and sister-in-law Helen Vine.

Lenore will also be greatly missed by her grandchildren Campbell, Lauren, Emily, Ryan, and Andrew, as well as her many nieces and nephews.

The family is grateful for the tender care provided to Lenore by Glenn, Angela, and Angella. Lenore lived a full, rich life, travelling to all corners of the world. She grew up on a farm in Perth County during the Depression and Second World War, attending Stratford Normal School and the University of Western Ontario.

Lenore got over that sufficiently to marry him and launch what would become an inspiring 50 year partnership with Hadden.

She inspired her three children to challenge themselves and develop their individual dreams.

After Hadden's death Lenore continued to enjoy her life in Haliburton eventually meeting her companion the late Jim Potter.

A service will be held on Monday, November 6th at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church, 230 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Haliburton Highlands Health Services Foundation or Belmont House Foundation.
