Joan Louise Murray (Sutton) beloved wife of the late Charles J. Murray (1998), of Lucknow, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday May 10, 2020 with her family by her side at the age of 79. 

She was born on July 3, 1940 to the late Pearl (Grover) and Lymn Sutton.  Dear Mother of Paul (Carrie) of Ripley, Brian (Karen) of Langside, Wayne (Judy) of Ripley, Grant (Karen) of Ripley, Donald (Barb) of Holyrood, Charles (Sally) of Lucknow, Joanne (Derek) Beishuizen of Ripley, Elizabeth “Betty-Anne” (Troy) Briggs of Warner, Australia.  Also greatly missed by 24 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.  Survived by siblings Cecil (Wilma) Sutton of Ripley, Bud Sutton of Amherstburg, BC, Gary (Donna) Sutton of Lucknow, Jean (Alan) Gilmore of Ottawa and John (Debbie) Sutton of Teeswater. Sister-in-law of Bernice Murray of Walkerton, Eleanor Kraemer of Kinloss, Amelia Murray of Harriston, Gerald (Nancy) Murray of Holyrood, Barbara (Doug) Schmid of Toronto and Elaine Fisher of Exeter. 

Predeceased by infant daughter Mary Julia, sister Ruth (Jan) Bruinooge, brother Charles Sutton, and in-laws Veronica (Keith) McCarter, Frank Murray, Leo (Imelda) Murray, Lorne Kraemer, Alphonse “Ab” (Gloria) Murray, Margaret Anne “Marty” ( Robert) Dales,  John Murray and Donald Fisher.    Joan’s greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and keeping up with all of their activities.  She was a life-long member of the Women’s Institute and also enjoyed helping and visiting with the Legion Ladies.  Each minute spent with the Ukulele Group was always special to her.  Due to present restrictions, there will be a private family service and a larger celebration of Joan’s life will be held at a later date.  Donations to the Wingham Hospital Ladies Auxiliary or the Lucknow Legion Ladies Auxiliary would be greatly appreciated as expressions of sympathy.  Arrangements entrusted to the MacKenzie & McCreath Funeral Home, Lucknow.  Condolences online at www.mackenzieandmccreath.com
