October 8, 1933 - August 30, 2024
Dr. John Lennox passed away peacefully on Friday, August 30, 2024, at the age of 90 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. In his lifetime he lived on three continents, was dedicated to lifelong learning, service to others, and a loving family—all while maintaining a wry British humor, and an affection for bookstores, art, collectibles, and the words of Winston Churchill. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Ruth, daughter Annette Hubbard, and brother William Lennox. He is survived by his sister Janet Lennox, sons Philip (Lorena) Lennox, and David (Lisa) Lennox, and grandchildren Kelsey Lennox, Sarah Lennox, Carissa Hubbard, and Hannah Lennox.
John was born on Oct. 8, 1933, to Pastor William and Dorothy May Lennox, in Liverpool, England. He graduated from Durham University Medical School in 1957. In 1958 he married his medical school classmate (Delma) Ruth Welch, and together they served for nearly a decade in Ghana, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, and later in India and Nepal.
They moved to Abbotsford in 1973, set up a medical practice, and served the community for more than forty years.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, September 15, at 11 a.m., in the chapel at Henderson's Fraser Valley Funeral Home, 34537 Marshall Rd., Abbotsford BC, with a reception to follow. A memorial page can be found here: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/11974761
