June 19, 1950 – September 12, 2025
at the age of 75 years:
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Joan (Margaret) Martin of Salmon Arm, B.C. beloved wife of Lee Reynaud. She was born June 19, 1950, in Ontario and passed away September 12, 2025 with her loving husband Lee by her side.
She is survived by husband Lee Reynaud, two stepchildren, Susan Martin (husband Michael Gosselin) and their sons Joel and Ryan; Tricia Martin (husband Barry Bergh); and also survived by two brothers Douglas Winter (wife Susan) and George Winter (wife Roberta). She was predeceased by her husband Ted Martin.
Joan was very dedicated to her husband Lee and soon became an integral part of her new extended family who loved her dearly.
Joan’s passions also included her springer spaniel “Murphy” who she faithfully walked every day. Her garden gave her great enjoyment. She enjoyed many hours of weeding, watering, and tending to her plants particularly her roses. She was a very active person making countless jars of preserves many of which were shared among her friends. She enjoyed book club, playing cards and visiting with friends and family, and was actively involved in the Salvation Army Christmas gift distribution for many years.
The family would also like to acknowledge and heartfully thank all of the people who attended Joan, the ambulance attendants, hospital staff and especially the kind Samaritan who provided CPR.
A celebration of life will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Heart and Stroke Association or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Recently, my mom passed away suddenly in Palm Springs, California. My dad was devastated with grief, but he had some amazing friends nearby who helped him thru the process.
In order to start that process, they needed the name of a funeral service in Salmon Arm that the people in the states could be in contact with about the handling of the remains. One of the friends recommended Fischer's Funeral Services, so they were called and They were amazing..they handled all the paperwork and kept in close contact with both the funeral homes and the people dealing with certificates and such. They will also help the spouse with some paperwork regarding taxes if necessary.
When my father and I went to see them regarding my mother's wishes, they were so accommodating and did not hesitate to do everything they could to make this as pleasant as they possibly could. We even changed our minds a few times about things at the last minute, and they made it all happen just the way we wanted.
My mother didn't have the usual service and it was the best choice we could have made for her and Fischer's did everything to make the day absolutely beautiful from the room setup to the layout of the flowers and urn. They also supplied all the little stuff that you don't even think about in a time like that( paper plates, cutlery, coffee, tea, etc...) and it took a giant load off of my mind so I could concentrate on making this the best send off I could for my mom and for that, I will be forever grateful.
I am quite bad to judge how much food and such to get for events , we had way, way too much leftover, but I felt happy about it because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. It gets donated to the local Women's shelter and so I feel that even though my mom is gone, she is still giving to others, and that is the best feeling.
I was amazed at the cost of the service. I have heard horror stories about the thousands and thousands of dollars it can cost and I was concerned because of the situation in dealing with the US that the cost would be one of those stories, but that was the most reasonable cost I have ever seen, and a house will not have to be mortgaged to pay for it ... 😊
A BIG shout out to Fischer's for all you did for me and my father and may the Heavens bless you both!
