It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frances Lee Strocher in Calgary, AB at the age of 75.
Lee was born in Yellowknife, NWT to John and Margaret Tibbitt. She worked various jobs throughout her life, including teaching, working at CIBC, and in the Foothills Hospital Finance Department. Lee was a person who loved everyone and willing to help whenever she could.

She is survived by her loving husband, Ernest; her daughter Joanne (Gord) Robb; her son Blaine (Rochelle) Holmes; her stepdaughter Karen (Dan) Watkins; and her grandchildren, Curtis, Kevin, Stephanie, Brad, Mason, and Alex. She was predeceased by her parents John and Margaret Tibbitt.
The family extends heartfelt thanks for the care Lee received at the Foothills Hospital, Unit 100.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Auntie Lee. She was a wonderful person and I will always cherish the quiet evenings talking with her and Ernie. An ever present cheerful, sensible and loving person. We will all miss her, but her memories comfort us.
I was saddened to learn of Francis Lee’s passing. She and I were age-mate second cousins. When we were younger our parents visited back and forth in Calgary and Great Falls. We had not seen each other for some years but my memories are good ones.
