We Remember

LENNOX, Edward James

June 25, 1949 — December 14, 2024

It is with great love and sorrow that we announce the loss of Edward James Lennox, who passed away peacefully on December 14, 2024, at the age of 75.

Left to hold him dear to their hearts are those he loved most, including his wife of 50 years, Jennifer; children Olivia Lennox (Greg Vasegyi), Jamie (Katya) Lennox, and Sean Lennox; grandchildren Joseph, Jessica, and Ellie Mae Lennox; siblings Pauline Janes, Charlie (Diane) Lennox, and Linda (Richard) Dova Spah; as well as numerous nieces and nephews and many extended family members. Edward now goes to join his parents Edward and Rhoda Lennox, who passed before him.

Edward was born on June 25, 1949, in Toronto, ON, as one of four children in a close-knit family. From a young age, he developed a passion for sports, excelling in both hockey and baseball, where his talent earned him awards and recognition. Edward spent the majority of his life in the Toronto area, where he built a successful career and a loving home. In 2004, he retired, embracing the opportunity to indulge in his favourite pastimes, particularly golf, where he enjoyed countless rounds as a proud member of his local club.

Edward’s love for activity extended beyond the golf course—he could often be found walking, hiking, or engaged in a lively game of ping pong, a passion so strong that he brought his ping pong table with him when he moved to Kelowna in 2022. Above all, Edward was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose love for his family defined him. His caring and supportive nature left a true mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Edward will be eternally missed, but the memories of his warmth, humour, and kindness will continue to inspire those who loved him.

A Memorial Service in honour of Edward will be held in 2025. Details to be announced.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Parkinson’s Foundation.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
