(Vicky Bremner photo) Joanne and Murray Souch celebrated 50 years of marriage on Oct. 12 at the Blyth Legion. It was on Sept. 28, 1963 that the two were wed. The ceremony took place at the Blyth United Church. Joanne Adele Johnston, the daughter of Stewart and Stella Johnston of Blyth took the hand of J. Murray Souch, the son of Charles and Laura Souch, in marriage on that cool Saturday in September. The ceremony was officiated by Rev. R. Evan McLagan. Joanne’s bridesmaids were Lena (Dougherty) Nesbitt, Joyce (Johnston) Breckles and Gail (Johnston) Gorman, while Murray’s groomsmen were Murdie Souch, Bill Souch and Wayne Johnston. The couple vacationed on their honeymoon to Northern Ontario before returning to Blyth to live. Upon returning, Murray worked in maintenance, while Joanne spent her days as a bookkeeper. They are retired now, of course, with Murray retiring in 2003 and Joanne following him shortly after in 2005. They have four children, Karen, Lori, Stephen and Kevin and four grandchildren, Mitchell and Jenna Coultes and Ryan and Nicole More. In their spare time, they like to spend time with their family and friends and they like to go camping.
