Joan Marlene (Bustin) Donald
1931-2018
While we celebrate a life well lived, we grieve for the
passing of Joan Marlene Donald (Bustin), loving wife to John Edson
Donald, which occurred on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at the Rocmaura
Nursing Home. Born on November 15, 1931 in Saint John, NB,
Joan was a daughter to the late Donald Creighton and Annie May (Hicks)
Bustin.
Joan was full of love for her husband, six children, several
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Joan’s
kitchen was never closed and always smelled delicious, much to the
delight of her numerous friends and family that visited
often. Joan’s kitchen table was a place to catch
up, have a bite and feel at home. Joan loved to
garden. She passed on this love to her many friends and
family that have pieces of her beautiful flowers in their own
gardens.
Joan will be lovingly remembered by her sons: William Donald
(Lisa), Keith Donald, Kevin Donald (Kelley Lomax) and Terry Donald
(Beth); daughters: Janice Donald and Karen McElman (Daniel); several
grandchildren and great- grandchildren; her brother, Creighton Bustin
(Venieta); sisters: June Bustin, Sharon Bustin and Donna Gaudet;
brother-in-law, Norman Langille, along with many nieces, nephews and
members of her extended family.
Besides her parents Joan was predeceased by sisters: Myrna
Chittick (Gordon) and Valerie Langille and brother-in-law, Gordon
Gaudet.
Arrangements are under the care of
Brenan’s Bay View Funeral Home, 1461
Manawagonish Road, Saint John (634-7425). In
keeping with Joan’s wishes there will be no
visitation. A Funeral Service will take place on Tuesday,
January 9, 2018 at 12:00 Noon from the Brenan’s Bay View
Chapel. For those who wish, remembrances may be made to the
Parkinson Canada or Rocmaura Foundation Inc.
