Joan was a WAC in WWII and worked for the Federal Government at DND for most of her career. She loved to travel and especially enjoyed her sisters of Beta Sigma Phi International Women’s Organization. Our mother loved life and was a wonderful and caring person who will be truly missed by all, especially her children.
Special thanks to the staff of the Perley & Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, especially the nursing staff on Ottawa East wing, who gave amazing and terrific care to our mother with special mention to nurses Tatina and Brianna.
