It is with heartfelt sadness the family announces the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and sister, on Sunday November 27th at the age of 78 years. She passed peacefully after a lengthy and courageous battle with two forms of Cancer.
Joan was born in Monkton, Ontario to the late Adam and Helen (Fern) Rock. She loved to travel and spent many summers with her family at the beach. Joan enjoyed playing the slots at various casino’s and was an avid Butterfly collector. She was especially devoted to her family as they gave her the greatest joy in spending time with them.
Loving and cherished mother of Kimberley, George and Jeannie Smith. Proud grandmother of Sam (Alexis). Dear Sister of Fred Rock (Margie) and Carl Rock .
Predeceased by her sisters Donna Siddall and Doreen Rock, by her friend and partner, Bill Keeso.
A special thank you to her very favorite PSW, Tammy and to Dr. Stacey Hubay, for the kindness and care shown to our Mom over the years.
