Marilyn Joan Johnson (Meyers) of Campbellford, very proud to tell you was in her 89th year, passed away on March 12, 2019 surrounded with love at Bridlewood Manor in Brockville. Joan was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 1999 and given 3 years to live, but she kept her head held high battling it for 20 years, a testament to her strength, resolve and love of life.
She is survived by her three children Susan (Don Smart), Neil (Tammy Cole) and Timothy (MJ Kelly) and four grandchildren Matthew… Read More » (Kristina), Terry (Danielle), Andrew (Leanna) and Cortney, as well as six great grand children.
Joan will be joining the love of her life Cyril (Cy) who pre-deceased her in 2006. She was a faithful member of Christ Church Anglican in Campbellford since moving to town in 1950. She loved her little church and found her strength in her faith to carry on through life’s challenges. Joan was predeceased by her parents Gerald and Alma Meyers of Toronto, sister Geraldine Obey, and survived by sister Judy March. When she was younger she moved between Toronto and Trenton where she was swept off her feet by Cy and married in 1950.
For those that knew and loved Joan as we did, please feel invited to a visitation at the Campbellford Christ Church, 154 Kent Street on Wednesday, March 20th, 2019 from 12 – 1 PM. A service of love and faith will begin at 1PM. Reception to follow. Interment will take place privately when the birds sing and the flowers bloom.
We wish to thank all the staff at Bridlewood Manor for their very caring attention and for making Joan and her family feel special. A very sincere thank you to Dr. G. Ashe who made sure Joan was comfortable and whose gentle manner was appreciated by all of us. Thank you so much to the palliative teams at Bayshore and Brockville General Hospital and to the care teams through the SE and CE LHINs.
