She faced her battle with Myasthenia Gravis with her infinite strong will and determination. Joan was born in Montreal May 8, 1927 and raised in the Forest Hill neighbourhood of Toronto. She attended Forest Hill School and continued her love of learning at McMaster University. Her caring attributes guided her through a BSc in Nursing, graduating in 1952. Joan married Keith Phillips in 1952 and moved to Oakville where they raised their four children. She taught them by example, the importance of giving to their community by volunteering in many associations, in particular the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. It was there that she began the Candy Striper program and chaired the committee of the annual fundraiser, The Candlelight Ball. In the early 1970's Joan poured her creative talents into the Silver Thimble Needlepoint Shop which began in the basement of her family home and continued for almost 30 years at the "little house" at 64 Rebecca Street in Oakville. It was here that she nurtured life long friendships all over the world with her contagious enthusiasm and supportive teaching. Every summer, she transported her needlework passion to the beaches of Kennebunk, Maine. She created a wonderful beach house where all her family and friends could gather...and gather they did! A dining room table that could seat 22 was more often than not, full. Joan leaves her children Patty, Stephen (Cheryl), Lois Smith (Lawrence), Kate Owen (Mike) and her grandchildren Mark, Lindsay and Stephen Blaxland, Ellen and Margot Phillips, Martha and Carter Smith and Brooke and Taylor Owen. A heartfelt thank you is extended for the care received by Joan from the outstanding medical and personal care workers who were part of her life over the past year. Special thanks to Dr. Martha Graham and Dr. Grahame Owen for their care and support for the family. Visitation will be held at the Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville (one block east of Kerr, 905-844-2600) on Thursday from 3:00 5:00 pm and 7:00 9:00 pm.

In Memoriam Douglas George Begg It's lonely here without you, I miss you more each day. For life is not the same to me Since that morning you were called away To your resting place I visit And place flowers there with care. But no one knows my heartache When I turn and leave you there.
