I was very saddened by the news of Joan’s passing. She was a treasured cousin and very special to all who knew her. Her giving spirit, sense of humour, creativity and love of nature are just a few of the many memories I will cherish. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to all family members.

Condolence from Ray and Carol Wazney on October 5th, 2012 4:45 pm

Deepest sympathy to all of Joan’s family members. We knew Joan through the Lac du Bonnet Catholic Church, and also shared a pilgrimage to Israel and Jordan with her in 2000.We will surely miss her. She also taught Ray’s sister Dorothy and brother-in-law Bob LaFontaine when she was in Garson. Bob’s mother Gerry and Joan’s Uncle Henry shared many years together.
