Joan Benson
Just when we thought we were going to be able to keep her forever, our Mom, Gramma, and GG, Joan Benson passed away January 14, 2025, peacefully and quietly after a brief illness, a month shy of her 96th birthday. We can already picture her relaxing on the veranda with the cicadas, trains, and Blue Jays game on the transistor radio providing the soundtrack, with her beloved husband and best friend Bill by her side. Daughter of Bessie and Emmerson Burrill, Joan leaves behind a legacy of family and community, both in Paris and beyond. She was so grateful for and close with her children Susan (Stan), Jodie, and Brad (Cindy). Gramma was infinitely proud of her grandchildren: Robin, Aaron, Adam, Randa, Leanne, Kaitlyn, and Eric and welcomed their chosen partners into the fold. She closely followed the adventures of her 20 great-grandchildren. Ask any one of us, and we can share a story and a giggle about our GG. Bridge games and road trips. Local community outreach and life-long friendships. Celebrations and opportunities to share her political insights. She delighted each one of us with her memories, generosity, and constant care (read: fretting about the weather). She never missed wishing us a happy birthday and always cleaned her plate, even when the meat was way too dry. We will forever miss her but will continue to share her stories and her love. Joan’s life will be celebrated on her birthday Saturday, February 15th, 2025, at St. Paul’s United Church, 48 Broadway St. West in Paris at 11:00 AM. Donations to St. Paul’s United Church or Salvation Army would be appreciated. Joan had very strict rules about obituaries. We hope we nailed the assignment.
