Joan (Fisher)
Cusack
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joan
Eileen Cusack, age 91, on Wednesday, October 17, 2018, at the Cape
Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, with her beloved family at her
side.
Joan E. Fisher was born in Staines, England. She was
predeceased by her mother, Rose Young, her father, Percy Fisher, her
beloved husband, John Cusack and her daughter, Carol (Garfield)
Anthony.
Joan is survived by her five sons, Johnny (Marie), Barry
(Sylvia), Tiger (Linda), Butch (Lynn) and Jimmy (Shellina) and her
five daughters, Colleen (Art) Jones, Linda (Gordie) Covin, Rosemary
(Brendon) MacIntyre, Pearl (Gary) Latour and Kathleen (Jean) Frenette.
She will be greatly missed by her many grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchild and her special angel,
Larry MacLeod.
For many years, Joan was actively involved with her war bride
family. She looked forward to her Tuesday luncheons and her Christmas
gatherings. Joan loved traveling, dancing, playing piano, listening to
her music and mostly celebrating with family. She was a true prankster
at heart and enjoyed making and dressing up in costumes. At the age of
91, she spent many hours on social media interacting with family and
friends with her cat, Bella at her side.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation to celebrate
Joan’s life will take place at Sydney Memorial Chapel on
Sunday, October 21 from 2-4 p.m. Interment will take place at a later
date.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and
palliative care staff of the Cape Breton Regional
Hospital.
Memorials may be made to the An Cala, palliative care unit at
the Cape Breton Regional Hospital or the SPCA.
