Joanne (Jody) Beaumont Spracklin

January 26, 2025

Joanne (Jody) Beaumont Spracklin (born Smith), age 67, passed away peacefully at the North Shore Hospice on Sunday, January 26th.

Jody was an incredibly loyal and loving wife to her husband James (Jim) for 36 years before his passing two years prior. Jody took immense pride in being a devoted mother to her only daughter, Heather.

Born on November 26th, 1957, in Montreal Quebec, Jody moved to West Vancouver in 1979 with her family. She enjoyed working with Swinton and Company downtown Vancouver before dedicating her life to creating a warm and nurturing environment for her family. A true lover of music, Jody found joy in filling her home with the sounds of her favorite tunes. In her younger years, she cherished spending time in nature, enjoying camping and fishing with her husband, creating lasting memories of their shared love for the outdoors. Her clever wit, love of wordplay, and passion for trivia and crosswords were just a few of the things that made her so special.

Jody was predeceased by her mother Shirley Smith. She is survived by her father Harry, daughter Heather, brother Craig (Kerry), sister Donna (Tom), and their growing families. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her.

Messages of Condolence

I will always remember Aunt Jody’s infectious laugh as well as her warmth and kindness. It was always such a treat to get to spend time with her during my childhood. Some of my very best memories are from times we spent with the Spracklin’s and the Smiths in the summer in Quebec. I’ll keep her in my memories always.

It's hard to choose a favourite memory of my dear sister Jody. Watching movies together and giggling as we ate ice cream with caramel sauce proclaiming "caramel makes my toes curl!" is one of my fondest memories. A great sister, a wonderful wife to her late husband Jim, and a fabulous mother to dearest Heather, Jody will be well missed by us all.
