JOAN WILKERSON 1924 - 2002 After a courageous battle with cancer, Joan passed away at the Riverview Health Center on Thursday, February 7, 2002. Joan was predeceased by her parents, Walter Reid and Lillie Maude Hallett; brothers, Gordon, Bill and Jack Hallett. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Bob Wilkerson; sisters, Joyce Chapman, Shirley Randall and Patricia (Kenneth) McKerracher; numerous nieces and nephews, especially Laurie, Jean, Nancy and Michila to whom she was like a second mother. Joan was born in St. James on January 24, 1924. She was involved with the optical business for 50 years and established Regent Optical. Joan enjoyed golfing with her friends at Assiniboine Golf Club and "putting for dimes". She loved to grow roses and was never without a book close at hand. She created beautiful petit point pictures and wouldnt tolerate even one stitch out of place. Joan was a determined lady, who met all her trials with her head held high. She set an example for us all of how to be unselfish, honest, generous, strong and even a bit stubborn. She was indeed the "tie that binds" in our family. She has touched our lives in so many ways. She was a one of-a-kind lady. Visitation for family and friends will be held Monday, February 11, from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Leatherdale Gardiner Funeral Chapel, 1858 Portage Ave. Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, February 12, at 2:00 p.m. also in the Chapel, with Canon John Caird officiating. The family would like to especially thank Diane and the compassionate nursing staff of 3rd floor East at the Riverview Health Centre for their excellent care, loving support and comfort. To yesterdays companionship and to tomorrows reunion LEATHERDALE GARDINER 1858 Portage Avenue 949-4872
