With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother Moyra Blanche Buckle. On Saturday February 15th, 2025 Blanche passed away peacefully at Wind River Hospice with family by her side. Blanche was a beloved member of our family and the community as a whole. She was known for her kindness, caring and love for everyone she met. Blanche enjoyed gardening, picnics, being a part of the music community as a piano teacher and singing in the Whitehorse Community Choir. She took on a ministry of her own by using her gift of helping all feel welcomed and that they all belonged. Her warmth, wisdom, and generosity will leave a legacy of love and compassion. 

Blanche leaves behind her brother Bill Cooke, her four children and their families; Kirk (Jennie), Pam (Cam), Carolyn (Todd), and Jonathon (Tammy). She also leaves behind her grandchildren; Blake (Christina), Aidan, Laura, Veronica, Mason and Tanner. She leaves behind her great grandchildren; Odette, Wyatt, and Charlotte.
