Joanne died peacefully after several courageous years battling illness on the morning of October 11, 2022 with the love of her family surrounding her. Joanne was born in Haileybury Ontario, March 27, 1941 She met the love of her life and best friend, Jerry in Los Angeles and they were happily married on November 7th 1964 and raised two beautiful children Lisa and Tony. Joanne graduated from Ottawa Civic Hospital in nursing and began her nursing career at the young age of 21 in Los Angeles California for 20 years. She moved back to Ontario where she raised her family and was an ER nurse for another 20 years for the Ajax Hospital. Joanne had a real zest for life and living each day to the fullest. Some of her fondest memories were her travels with Jerry and their dear friends the Mitchell's, the 28 years her family were seasonal campers at Bailey's Bay Campground, and of course any time spent with her family. Joanne was very active and liked all sports, playing golf, and mall walking with her husband and friends. She will be dearly missed by her husband and best friend of 58 years, Jerry. Her two children and their families. Her daughter Lisa, her husband Larry, her two grandchildren; Larissa, her husband Jamie and her adorable great- granddaughter Everest. Her Grandson Jory. Her son Tony and his fiancé Wendi and her daughter Kylee. Missed by her brother Tony and his family, sister Sue and her family, as well as numerous extended family members and friends. Joanne was predeceased by her siblings; Judy, Ted, and Peter. At Joanne's request there will be no service and her immediate family will privately lay her ashes to rest peacefully in the Bowmanville Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kidney Foundation would be a wonderful way to honour Joanne.

OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. No stain was on your little heart, sin had not entered there; and innocence slept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. You were too pure for this cold earth, too beautiful to stay, and so God's holy angel bore our darling one away. Heavy are our hearts today, memory brings you back once more, to the time when you were with us, to the happy days of yore. The rolling stream of life rolls on. But still the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat there.
