JOAN SHANKS
(nee HINDS)
Joan Shanks died peacefully on July 10, 2022 at Glengarry Hospital, Victoria, BC.
Daughter of the late Walter (Wally) and Christine Hinds. She is survived by her children, Paul, Penelope, and David; and her grandchildren, Karen, Jason, Sebastian and Alex.
Born in Winnipeg on July 27, 1942, she moved to Montreal with her family as a teenager. She became a nurse at the Royal Victoria Hospital. After raising her children, her desire to care for others led her to a second career as a priest with the Montreal diocese. She moved to Victoria to be close to her son and his family. A Celebration of Life will be held in Victoria in 2023.
