It is with love and deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of Joan Marguerite Cleghorn.
August 4, 1935 - February 15, 2025
She was born on Aug 4, 1935, and passed away on February 15, 2025, with her daughters at her side. Mom was such a kind, beautiful soul and ever so loved.
She started her journey in Winnipeg MB as an only child and moved to Victoria at 10, a place she adored. She married George Winter and had children Cheryl, Janice, and Geordie.
Mom was a much-loved bookkeeper, valued for her work ethics until her retirement. She never lost her wonder for nature, as seen in her photography. Mountains, trees, water, and flowers being her favourite subjects. She was always open to learning photography, painting, pottery, sketching and cooking courses.
She had a second chance at love with Lawrence Cleghorn, another kind, caring soul. They built a life with many adventures in their 5th wheel eventually getting a place at Cluculz Lake.
She is survived by her loving children Cheryl (Ted), Janice (Glen) & Geordie (Sherry), Stepchildren; Wendy (Kevin), Sherry (Geordie), Wayne, precious Grandchildren; Landon, Dane, Kassie, George, Maddison, Angela, and Tristan, Great Grandchildren; Shaye, Phallon, Melody, Sadie, Celina, Jude, Ava, Carter, and Jasper.

Mom will always be remembered for her gentle nature, her laughter, and for all the love she had for us.
Rest in Peace mom, you will live in our hearts forever.
