Obituary of Elinor Ann Martin
Martin, Elinor “Ely”
Peacefully, while listening to Christmas carols, Elinor went home to be with her Lord and Saviour on Monday, November 29, 2021 in her 78th year.
Beloved wife of Ray Martin for 57 years. Loving mother of Kent (Carolyn) Martin, Krista (Leon) Frey, and Todd (Nikki) Martin. Adoring grandma to Cody (Chelsey) Martin, Ali Martin and Braiden Martin. Elinor will be missed by siblings Wayne (Sally) Martin, Audrey (Ken) Zehr, Pauline (Dave) Horsfall, Bill (Elaine) Pearce, as well as many nieces and nephews. Elinor is reunited in heaven with her parents Edgar and Edna Martin and her sister, June Pearce.
Mom enjoyed touching the lives of others through her work at Red Cross Homemaking and “At the Crossroads” Restaurant. She loved catching up with others to see what was happening in their lives. She enjoyed life up until her last days when her journey with cancer took a surprising turn. She will be missed by all.
