Joan Pearl McLeod
On Thursday, January 12th, the Lord called home the most giving, caring and compassionate woman, Joan Pearl McLeod, beloved wife and best friend to Winston McLeod.
She is loved so deeply by her two sons and their families, Brian and Tracey McLeod and their son and daughter, Jordan and Nicole McLeod (Blake) and Tyrone and Krista McLeod and their son Rylee.
She will forever be missed by her sisters and their families, Betty (Mac), Joyce (Keith), Fran aka Cookie (Ray), Katie (Leo), Diane (Tom), Anne (Al) and her sister at heart in Mississippi, Diane (Jelly). Her brothers Donald and Brian (Annick) will also miss their big sister. Her extended family through marriage includes Myrna (Bud), Linda (Leslie), Mel (Barb), Jimmy (Velma) and all of their children.
Anyone that knew Joan would remember that she would give you the absolute truth (whether or not you wanted to hear it was another story), the shirt off of her back and her last dime.
She worked for many years as a nurse at the Selkirk Mental Hospital and was loved and respected by her many coworkers and especially the patients that she cared for.
She was one of the most compassionate and caring people, she could always be counted on to lend a hand, an ear to listen and she always had her arms open for a much needed hug. She kept her life full and busy, constantly volunteering for events around the community, whether it was a flee market, a church luncheon, the Lions Club and every sporting event imaginable. She truly lived her life in the service of others.
A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, January 18th at 1:00 p.m. in the Selkirk Christ Church, with a lunch to follow. As well, she has always wished for her friends and family to wear bright and colourful clothing to her life celebration. Thank you for doing your best to honour her wishes.
In lieu of flowers and in memory of Joan, please consider a donation to the Stars Winnipeg Base, 155 West Hanger Road, Winnipeg, R3J 3Z1, or go online to www.stars.ca.

Brian and family, So sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. When I think back when we teenagers and hanging out at your house,she was so nice to all of us crazy girls! And never kicked us out for being so loud and all the crazy laughing and stunts that we did there! I have such good memories of being at Joan and Winstons house! And then years later always bumping into her when she was on her walks down Mercy street, always saying « hi Denise, how is your day going today? And telling me a little blurp about when her two boys where little, giggling at me as I was usually chasing my boys around the yard as she was walking by, and ending it with just wait till they’re teens and all the girls that will be around! I think she got a kick out of that, you know pay back! Your mom was a funny and feisty lady when it came to her boys. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers
~Denise
