It is with heavy hearts that the family of Joanne Marie McPhee announces her peaceful passing that occurred on Monday June 8, 2020 at the Moncton Hospital. Born in November of 1956 in Moncton she was the daughter of the late Gonzague and Bernadette (Melanson) LeBlanc.
Joanne graduated from St. Vincent’s High School in 1974 and from there her education continued until her graduation from the Medical School of Laboratory Technology in 1976. Her 41-year career included 8 years with the Saint John Regional Hospital and 33 years at the Moncton City Hospital in the Chemistry Lab, before retiring in 2017. She was a long-time volunteer for the Heart & Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society. Joanne loved the beach and spending time with her friends, but most of all she enjoyed attending all of Craig’s sporting events throughout the years.
She is survived by her loving son Craig McPhee of Dartmouth, NS; sisters Connie (Bruce) Melanson of Quispamsis, Carol Armstrong, Rochelle Andersen (Jeff Lingley) and Darlene (John) Carruthers all of Saint John; several nieces and nephews.
