She leaves to cherish her memory, her long time best friend and companion, Robert Levesque, daughter Norah Feldman-DeLande, grandson Matthew (Rosa), and great-grandchildren Aimee (fiancée Chris Dupont) and Christopher. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Marcel (1972); parents Fred and Anastazia; siblings Julia, Mary, John, and Anne. Joan was best known as a successful business woman, owning and operating Delande Memorials until her retirement in 2001. She was a kind and generous person, always believing in giving back to the community and helping people in need. She was a devout member of St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church, holding a special place in her heart for the Basilian Fathers and the Sisters Servant of Mary Immaculate. Joan loved animals, adopting numerous stray cats and dogs as family pets throughout the years. She also owned several racehorses at Assiniboine Downs; her favourite was Is Poppin'. Joan also loved to travel, and especially took pleasure in having taken her grandchildren and great-grandchildren to Disney World.
