She was born April 30, 1930 in Brandon, MB. She married Wally Wensel, April 21, 1951. They lived in Winnipeg until 1977, when they moved to their farm.

Joan is survived by her three children Karen, Bob (Heather) and Julie, sister Bettie, brother Chuck (Millie), four grandchildren David, Elizabeth, Melissa and Rachel, and numerous nieces and their families. She loved her time living on the farm near Netley with her chickens, sheep and Tiger her cat. Dad always thought she could be a Jeopardy champ, since she always knew the answers, often before the contestants. She was a reader and interested in current affairs. She enjoyed travelling, camping and being outdoors. Special thanks to the caring staff at Tudor House, where Joan lived for the past seven years. As per her wishes, a private family Celebration of Life was held.
