Mrs Noreen Graham Johanson

June 8, 2015 Kamloops, B.C.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma. Mom was the youngest child of Scottish settlers, Neil and Janet Graham and grew up on a farm near Dundurn, Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by her husband Carl in 2001 and her five siblings, Douglas, Edward and William Graham and her two sisters Ellen Boyko and Gertrude O’Leary. In 1970 Mom and Dad purchased a small laundromat in Merritt and eventually expanded the business to include drycleaning. They ran Merritt Coin Laundry and Drycleaning for over 21 years. The business was sold in 1991 and in their retirement years mom and dad spent time at their lot at Nicola Lake as well as winters spent in Arizona. Mom loved playing cards, board games and doing crafts and was always up for a good debate. She is survived by her three children; Dianne Walker (Tom), Carla Johanson (Wayne Simms) and Debbie Edmond (Bill) as well as her grandchildren Chandra Bonthoux, Brandie Guzyk, Stephen Guzyk (Lisa), Nicole and Kyle Edmond and her great grandchildren Lane, Gaven and Branson Weisse, Matthius Guzyk and Lacee Freeman. She also leaves behind more extended family in both Canada and Sweden. A Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at 1PM at the United Church in Merritt, B.C. In lieu of flowers those who so desire may make memorial donations in memory of Mom to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Cancer Society.
