Lenard Julius From
Lenard Julius From of Caronport, SK, peacefully entered the presence of his Saviour on Wednesday, February 15th, 2023, at the age of ninety-three years. He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Esther; infant daughter, Carolyn; brother, Leslie; and sister, Joyce. Len is survived by his wife of sixty-three years, Millie; three siblings: John, David, and Mary; children: Joel (Beckie), Barbara (Jonathan), Wesley (Pamela), and Derek (Melissa); as well as eleven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
Len was born on November 27th, 1929, at Spy Hill, SK, the eldest of six children. At the age of twenty-four, he gave his heart to the Lord Jesus. It was the most pivotal event of his life; he became a wholehearted follower of Jesus Christ.
The next four years were spent at Briercrest Bible Institute. He then went on for further education at Columbia Bible College in South Carolina, where he met Mildred Deremer. They were married on June 13th, 1959, in New Jersey. Len and Millie moved to Canada and soon accepted a call to pastor in Peirson, Manitoba.
In August 1962, the family moved to Caronport, where Len served as High School Boys’ Dean and later as Maintenance Foreman. He loved the Lord, the Word of God, and his family. He was an avid hunter, and was happiest gardening, tinkering, and photographing nature. Len and Millie lived at Caronport for nearly sixty years, until they moved into a retirement home in Moose Jaw, SK in April 2022.
A Celebration of Len’s Life will be held on Sunday, February 19th, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. in the Edwards Chapel in Caronport, SK. In lieu of flowers, donations in Len’s name may be made to Joe’s Place Youth Centre, 402 Main St N, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 3K2. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.

Thinking and praying for you Millie and your family.
We would like to extend our condolences to Lenard From’s family. We did not know him. However we did know some of his family in the past. He had moved away from Spy Hill years before I lived there. But we remember From’s Lake with fondness. John From established the resort lake that we had much fun at. We are sorry for your loss. We hope that Rev. 21:3,4 can bring some comfort
to you.
Sorry I missed the ceremony. My thoughts are with you.
Deepest condolences.
Cousin Milt
My thoughts are with you during this sad time. I had wanted to give my sympathies in person but due to Covid I am stuck at home. Please accept my sincere sympathies.
Our deepest sympathies, Millie and family!
Condolences from Harry and Dottie Engstrom’s daughter, Marcia Rigamonti. I remember Millie how highly my Mom thought of you, so I send you love on hers and my own behalf. Your dear husband is rejoicing the the presence of our King and I’m sure my parents were there to greet Mr. Fromm as he entered heaven’s gates!
