Peacefully on Monday, June 29, 2020 Joan M. Falconer passed away in her 97th year.

Joan was predeceased by her parents Ernest (1961) and Gertrude (1971) Falconer; siblings Theo (1978), Keith (2008), Nan (2012); and nephew John Keith (2014). She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews and their families as well as relatives in the UK.

Born and raised in Ingersoll, Joan fulfilled her long held ambition to teach and spent several years at Westmount Public School in Thorold before attaining her degree and teaching at Northwestern Secondary School in Stratford.

Upon her retirement in 1985 she returned to her childhood home and was an active member of the Ingersoll Nature Club and the Ingersoll Creative Arts Centre. She was an enthusiastic traveler and gardener while she was able and more recently a wealth of knowledge on these subjects to inspire family, friends, and neighbours. She will be missed by many whose lives she has touched and influenced over the years.

The family would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the entire staff of Caressant Care Nursing Home, Woodstock for the exemplary concern and exceptional attention to comfort they have provided during these past few unprecedented months.

In keeping with Joan's wishes there will be no visitation or funeral service. Arrangements have been entrusted to McBEATH-DYNES FUNERAL HOME, Ingersoll.Personal condolences may be sent at www.mcbeathdynes.ca
