Joan was born to parents, Nettie and John Belasco on July 30, 1940. She a was a war baby, born in Winnipeg. Later she was joined by a sister Patsy and two brothers, John and Bob "Robert".
Joan was educated in Winnipeg at William Whyte and Issac Newton Schools. She was raised and lived in the North End and where she met her husband Lionel Baryluk. Before their marriage at Sts. Vladimir & Olga Cathedral, Joan worked for Pool Western Elevators and Dairy Dell with her mom.
After raising her family, Joan later worked at Revenue Canada for 20 years where she met and enjoyed many great friendships to this day. She commuted to work from Chalet Beach at Matlock, MB for many years where she also enjoyed some great friendships. When Lionel retired from C.N.R., Joan also retired and they travelled to other parts of Canada; Comox, BC for 10 winters and Mexico. Joan loved to host large family events and was a true Matriarch, loved by all.

I first met Joan at CRA in 1981 when I was a young girl out of high school. I looked up to Joan as being the mature middle aged woman who spoke highly of her family. We sat together in the same quad and shared many laughs throughout the day. May she rest in peace! Take care of yourselves during this difficult time. - Posted by: Erica Andree-Norris (Co-worker) on: Jan 03, 2021

My deepest sympathies to the family. I worked with Joan in the mailroom of Revenue Canada way back in 1992 along with Ruth, Christina, and Eileen. We shared great stories and we were always laughing when it was our break times. Joan had a great sense of humour and I enjoyed her company. Joan, you are gone but not forgotten. - Posted by: Richard Girouard - Montreal, Quebec (Friend from Revenue Canada.) on: Jan 02, 2021
