Eleanor Katherine Noakes
(nee Benard)
August 10, 1920 – May 19, 2013
It is with great sadness to announce Eleanor’s passing. She leaves her daughter Susan and joins her husband John. Eleanor was a loving and supportive mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and community member. Born in Verdun, Quebec, moved to Vancouver in 1955 and to Salt Spring Island in 1979. Eleanor was beautiful in every sense of the word through her love, gentleness, kindness, humility, strength and her wonderful sense of humour – even in life’s most challenging moments. You will be in our hearts always. You are in God’s hands. Love you mom.
