Gloria Ruth LeFranc, a.k.a. Gloria Ruth Feniak (nee: Johnson) Died on the morning of November 17 2012 at Bastion Place with her family by her side.
Gloria was born on the Johnson Family Homestead Wanham Alberta January 12 1931. She was the oldest of three children.
Gloria has been living, working and enjoying life in Salmon Arm since 1972.
Gloria was a hard worker all her life. There was never a weed in her garden and her house was always spotless. When she found the time she loved to curl and dance and usually had a craft project on the go.
Gloria was predeceased by both her parents and much loved Brother John. And her first husband, William (Bill) George Feniak in 1989.
Left to mourn her loss is her second husband and main caregiver Ernest (Ernie) Joseph LeFranc, her only son Carey (Susan) Feniak of Sicamous, two grandsons Jonathan (Laura), James (Krystal) and four great grandchildren.
She also leaves behind her extended LeFranc family, Michelle (Neil), Gregg (Shelley), Nina (Jennifer), Denise (Jeff), Shannon (Rick), Bruce (Mary Con), numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Gloria requested there be no service or ceremony. The family may plan a gathering at a later date to celebrate her life.
