JOAN ADELINE ROGERS (MANDZIK) 1942 - 2003 After a lengthy illness Joan peacefully passed away on the evening of April 14, 2003. For many years she enjoyed her work at Investors Group where she made numerous friends. She was also a lifelong member of Holy Family Parish, where she frequently participated in church activities, including teaching Catechism for six years. Joan was a gifted homemaker with a passion for her family. A skilled cook, she excelled at preparing pizza and perogies, and all other manner of delicious treats. One of her favourite pastimes was going to her cottage at Hillside Beach, where she enjoyed walking the tree lined roads to the beach for a sunset. She took great comfort in the beauty of nature, and well being of animals including her cat Caneda. Joan is survived by her husband Al and son Adam; her sister Mary and son Ron; her brother Mike and wife Bernice, their son Mark and wife Pina, and their son Bauer who endlessly entertained Joan with his antics. Joan was predeceased by her parents, Jadwyga and George Mandzik, and her brother-in-law Bill.
