They moved to Ottawa in 1954 where Joan remembered fondly her days and her many friends at the Rideau Park United Church Women’s Auxiliary. They moved to Winnipeg in 1973 where she was able to reacquaint with her western roots and family. In 1979 they were once again relocated but this time to Thornhill Ontario where they resided for some 38 years. She loved her flower gardens and yard and spent many hours knitting and attending to her prized Orchid collection.
