Obituary

Passed on

It is with broken hearts and everlasting love that we said goodbye to our mom Joan on February 14, 2025 at the Stonewall Hospital. Our family is for ever grateful for the time we were able to spend with her.

Mom was born on July 29, 1935. Mom and Dad celebrated their 69^th wedding anniversary this past year and she was heartbroken and missed him dearly when he passed in September 2024.

Mom was predeceased by her husband Bob, infant child, dearly beloved daughter Jo-Ann, her parents Marj and Harry, sister Elaine, in-laws Ebba and Charlie, Russ and Sue, Margaret and Bob and many others.

She leaves behind her cherished daughters Tracy (Tom) and Margaret (Gary), much loved grandchildren Sarah, Alicia, Jason, Michelle, Brad, Dale, Heather, Eric and Trevor, also her great grandsons who brought Papa and GG so much joy, Jaxon, Charlie and Theo. Her sister Sandy, nephews Derrick, Darryl and Guy, niece Tammy and their families.

Our family would like to express our deepest thanks to the Doctor’s, nurses and health care professionals who provided our mom with excellent care during her stay in hospital. Our family and especially mom, greatly appreciated your compassion, care and understanding during such difficult times for her. You are all angels.

We would also like to thank her family physician Dr. Olyiame, Dr. Zahiri, the EMT’s and her Home Care Case Coordinator Michelle and the many aides who assisted Mom and Dad through the years allowing them to remain in their home which they were truly grateful for.

At Mom’s request, there will be a family service at a later date.
