Lesley Anne Scheeren

SCHEEREN, Lesley Anne
1958 - 2024
On January 19, 2024, we lost our devoted mother, Lesley Anne Scheeren. She passed away peacefully and with grace at her Metchosin farm, surrounded by her loving family. Lesley was 65 years old.
Lesley was born on July 21, 1958 in Comox, BC to parents Fred and Joyce Phillips (both predeceased). Her family eventually made their way into the Greater Victoria, BC area when Lesley was at a young age, where she spent most of her life. She would marry her high school sweetheart, John Scheeren, where they would begin their journey as parents in 1980 with the birth of their first son, John Richard (J.R.), and then, a couple years later, would add the final member, their second son Robbie. After spending many years in Victoria, Lesley and John eventually moved out to Metchosin, BC in 2007 into their little piece of Heaven that they cherished.
Lesley had a career of over 25 years working for the Provincial government, most notable with the BC Pension Corporation, where she made many close friendships and was very dedicated to her profession. Lesley also had a short career after her retirement where she provided childcare at her home that she loved. Nana Coco, as she was known by her little ones, loved caring for the children and watching them grow up. Lesley, during that time, also housed high school exchange students and exchange program students from Wild Arc, where she formed very strong relationships with. Lesley was also part of the horse community as she had three of her own. She was always thankful of the support of this community and the wonderful people she met along the way whom she loved.
Lesley's (Mom's) true passion was her family whom she was ever so dedicated to. Her absolute love and support for us through the years will carry within us forever as her flame burns bright. Mom is predeceased by her beloved husband John, and deeply missed by her sons J.R. (wife Kate) and Robbie (wife Patti) along with her most cherished grandson, Brooks. Mom was in her most happy place when she was surrounded by the family. She was a beautiful soul and we were blessed to have her as our mother.
Mom, you are free of pain. Go and ride into Heaven with the same grace you lived your life, and know that the love you had for your family is forever imprinted in all of us. Go be with Dad.

The family requests that donations be made in her name to the BC SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) in lieu of flowers.
