Joan was an avid an bridge player, reader, golfer, Annie walker, mahjong player, traveler, antiquer and sports enthusiast. In her youth, the Oakville Golf Club kindled her infinite love for the game; the Oakville Curling Club was where her love of curling began. Bruce and Joan were avid curlers during their early married years and always enthusiasts of the sport. One of a few longest-standing members, the Oakville Club is where she played racquet sports, bridge and watched her children enjoy all the club had to offer.
