My thoughts are with the family. I only knew Joan for a short time, we had great conversations and many laughs. Joan spoke very highly of her family. My grandmother suffers from a condition similar to Joan's. I am sure she is missed dearly.

Anne & Fred - June 7, 2020

Farewell, dear Joan, my special friend My thoughts are with you till the end For years we’ve shared space by the lake And any foods that Fred might bake We’ve enjoyed coffees as we spoke Of Trump - now isn’t he a joke We’ve talked about the condo woes And God knows there’ve been lots of those! We’ve purchased pillows and planted trees And lunched with the Roseneath ladies And lately we’ve had lots of laughs At Gertie grouse and dancing cats So many happy memories we share I’ll treasure them when you’re not there But I ask that you share one thing still - If you see your Richard - and I believe you will Our heartfelt condolences to the whole family. Joan is greatly missed.

I first met your mother when she worked at Patte's Paints in Oshawa. She had waited on me a number of times in the store and one time asked me if I could help her out on a job she needed done as I was a professional painter. I obliged and from that moment on we did numerous jobs together throughout the Whitby/Oshawa area. She did the design ideas and I carried out the labor to fruition. We continued our partnership when she moved to Sherwin Williams Paint Store. I retired in the early 90's and was told she moved to Cobourg and we lost touch. She was a very talented lady and I was shocked to hear of her passing. It was indeed a pleasure to have worked along side her. My sincere condolences to her family. Rest in Peace Joan. Jack L. Beaton Lynde Creek Manor Whitby Ontario

As sad as Joan's death is, I will always have warm memories of her and the times we were together. My thoughts are with Paul and Kelly and their families at this time.

Lindsay Gibb - May 29, 2020

I was so very sorry to learn of your mother’s passing and extend my deepest sympathy to your family. I worked with your dad at Bell and your mum helped me with several decorating projects. I will always fondly remember them both. Keeping your family in my thoughts and may your wonderful memories of time shared always keep you close. Lindsay Gibb

Kara Milner - May 29, 2020

I'm so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. As her 'nail girl', I knew her quite closely over the past 8 years. She loved to talk about her late husband, children, and grandchildren. I will always remember her love of interior design. She loved showing off pictures of her latest project on her beautiful condo that she loved so much. Love you Joan. Be at peace.
