Jun 25, 1950 - May 5, 2018
Noeline Kinloch (nee Peart) passed away peacefully in Vancouver, B.C. on May 5, 2018 at the age of 67.
Noeline is survived by her daughters Heather (Michel) Lafreniere of Squamish, B.C. and Natasha Kinloch of Calgary, Alberta, their father Albert Kinloch of Okotoks, Alberta, granddaughter Madeleine Lafreniere of Squamish, B.C., and grand cat Mittens of Calgary, Alberta. She is also survived by her sisters Gaylene, Naida and Patricia.
Noeline was born on June 25, 1950, in Auckland, New Zealand to Rose and Graham Peart and lived in Fiji and Tonga for many years prior to moving to Sydney, Australia, where she and her family lived for several years. She immigrated to Canada in 1974, where she later married Albert Kinloch and raised her two daughters in Okotoks, Alberta. During the later years of her life she made her home in Parksville, B.C. and enjoyed spending time in nearby Rathtrevor Beach.
Her children remember her as a caring and supportive mother who always encouraged them to pursue their goals. She was also remembered as a loving wife. Noeline was a unique and driven individual who loved running, gardening, travelling, painting as well as spending time with family. She also had a passion for music and sang in several choirs. She enjoyed the company of a pet cat, Habibi, for many years, had a love for all animals and would be sure to update the family on the latest wildlife sightings from her days spent in Rathtrevor Park or her garden.
A small celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Noeline's favourite charities which include, the Alberta Children's Hospital, Parksville SPCA, Oxfam and the Salvation Army.
The family would like to thank all the caregivers and staff at the Lions Gate Hospital and Kiwanis Care Centre for their care and support of Noeline during her final months.
