Obituary of Tracy Johnstone Middel Kinchen

Of Port Stanley; formerly of London and Copper Cliff. Sadly, our family announces the passing of this wonderful woman on Saturday, December 5, 2015, at 58 years of age. Loving partner and best friend of Don Kinchen. Beloved mother to Derek Johnstone (Tara Singh) of Toronto and Alex Middel (Tyler Gibbs) of London. “Nannie” will be sadly missed by her cherished grandchildren Fynn, Piper, Grayson and Kyla. Also survived by dear sister Susan Lawson (Randy) of Sudbury, special nephew Connor McDonald of St. Thomas, step-daughter Danielle Ramage (Graham Phair) of Vancouver, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by first husband Daniel Johnstone; sister Kelly McDonald; brother Greg McDonald; and parents George and Joyce McDonald. Tracy remained stoic and endured her lengthy illness with the strength, grace and dignity that she had always possessed. She will stay lovingly in our hearts and memories forever. Her unwavering love and devotion to family and friends was an inspiration to all who knew her. Always working hard to provide for her family, Tracy spent many years in London within the retail clothing industry. She also had her own consignment store ‘The Clothesline’; opened ‘The Flying Pig’ restaurant; and later became a travel agent.
