On Friday, July 6, 2018, one month and five days after celebrating her 90th birthday, our beloved Joan quietly passed away. Born in Reading, England, Joan came to Canada as a war bride after marrying her "Bert” in 1946. During their married life, Joan followed Bert as he made his living working as a chef in many remote mining/lumber camps across Canada before finally settling in Toronto. Staying true to how she lived her life, she was a fighter until the end. Beloved mum of Hazel (John), Suzanne (the late John), Johnny (Keverley), Laura (Keith), Gordie (Wendy), Lillian and Robert (Shelley). Beloved granny to Michael, Shawn, J.J., Marc, Ryan, Lisa, Greg, Terry, Eric, Bernadette, Jaynee, Chantelle, Frankie, Doreen and Danielle and great granny to twenty five. Predeceased by her husband Albert and her infant sons Albert and Harvey and her daughter Louise. She was a sweet lady, loved by many and she will be terribly missed. The family would like to thank the staff at Revera for the many kindnesses shown to Joan during her residence and their care and compassion during the last few weeks of her life. Arrangements are in care of the Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 416-231-2283. A private interment is planned. If desired, donations may be made in Joan’s memory to Diabetes Canada at www.diabetes.ca.
