She will lovingly be remembered by her sister and brother-in-law, Peggy and Bill Wilton; Wendy, Todd, Zoe and Bryce Wyman; Cam, Sean and Kyle Wilton; and Dan Wilton.

Joan was predeceased by her mother Kaye, in 1979 and her father Nick, in 1993. Joans life of independence began with her move to Brandon in 1979. With the help of COR Enterprises staff, she was taught to take public transportation to and from work and to have as much independence as she could master. She truly loved her work at COR and always looked forward to Fridays which were paydays. With her moved into Westman House in June 1979, a whole new world opened up for her and her place in that family was established. Staff at Westman House and COR Enterprises believed in endless possibilities and Joans accomplishments were a testament to that philosophy. Her life was extremely enriched and fulfilled. Many thanks go to all who helped her achieve her goals. Joan, how proud we were of you and all that you accomplished! What a great run at life you had!
