Joanne was born in Edmonton, AB on November 1, 1938 and grew up in Faust, AB until the age of 16 when she left home to attend the University of Alberta. Shortly after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, Joanne began working as a lab technician and moved to Winnipeg where she met the love of her life, David and married on July 4, 1964. Joanne was a loving and caring mother who was devoted to her family and supported her four children who were very involved in many sports and activities. She was a voracious reader, liked playing card games and had many hobbies including knitting, quilting and golfing but what she enjoyed most was spending time with family and friends and entertaining in the family home. Joanne and David had a passion for travel and explored many countries in addition to spending winters in Texas and Florida. The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses from the Grace Hospital, 5th floor north, for their compassionate care. A memorial service has been planned for Friday, June 22, 1:00 p.m. at the Central Church of Christ, 170 St. Mary's Road, Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Education Fund at Central Church of Christ or a charity of your choice.
