Evelyn May Leitch

1942 – 2026

It is with sadness that the family of Jim Leitch of Medicine Hat announces the passing of his wife Evelyn Leitch on “October 25^th, 2026”.  Lyn was born in Calgary, Alberta to parents Jack and Audrey Wood. With her father being in the ministry, Lyn grew up living in a number of small communities in Southern Alberta.

She is survived by her children, Bryan (Noemi) Leitch, Brad (Amaris) Leitch, Lonnie (Renee) Leitch, Wendy (Mark) Morris and brothers Dave(Terri) Wood, Dan (Cheryl) Wood, John (Gayle) along with numerous grandchildren. She was predeceased by one son Rick Missel and her sister Kathy Vockeroth.

Lyn loved spending time with family and friends and had a great passion for her grandchildren and the time she was able to spend with them.  Grandchildren were a great joy in her life. She loved to paint and work with crafts. Over the years she created many types of crafts and was able to win a number of awards at the Medicine Hat Stampede for some of her creations. She was an inspiration for the courage she had while overcoming the adversity of her illnesses.

Lyn spent many years at the Good Samaritan Society, where she knew everyone’s name, and was grateful for the compassionate care she received.

Above all else Lyn valued family and will be dearly missed by all family members. In lieu of flowers or donations, the family asks that you honour her memory by spending quality time with loved ones.

With respect for Lyn’s wishes, her life will be honoured and her memory cherished by family and friends without the proceedings of a formal funeral service.
