April 15, 1955 – October 25, 2012
We are sad to announce the passing of this amazing lady who taught us all so much about the joy of living life to the fullest. Lea was born in Victoria, where she remained until her death.
She leaves her partner in love and life, her husband Russ, daughter Holli and her husband Colin, and her pride and joy, her precious granddaughter Lauren Lea. Also, her father George Clark, and brothers Neil and Danny and their families, and her great, big, extended Justice Family.
Lea was loved by all and always had a hug and some words of wisdom to share. She will be missed more than words can say.
Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at the B.C. Cancer Agency, the Victoria Hospice, and especially to Dr. Tracy Mihalynuk, for all their care of Lea on her journey.
A Celebration of life will be held at Salvation Army Victoria Citadel, 4030 Douglas St., 2:00 p.m., November 1, 2012.
“In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.”
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Fiona I was so saddened to hear of Lea’s passing. What a true loss to this Earth. I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile on her face….the kind of smile that gets the whole room smiling. Generous of spirit and love, she was truly a lovely and beautiful person. I’m so sorry for your loss, for you and Holli and Lauren, who obviously from the pictures, had the most adoring grandma a baby girl could ever hope for.
