Joan Marie Lavender
1948-2020
LAVENDER, Joan Marie (née Robbins) – Joan was Promoted to Glory
from her home in Cambridge, Ontario on Friday, August 7, 2020, in her
72nd year. She passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones, music and
prayer. Joan was the loving and devoted wife of Glen, cherished mother
of their three children, Tracy, Glenn (Sherri), and Krista (Chris),
and proud grandmother of Jonah, Miles, Bram, Mitchell, and Thad. She
will be dearly missed by her siblings Ray (Marion), Gideon (Avora),
Renee (Barry), Dave, Eva (John), Grace (Alan) and Gerry (Barbara) and
step-mother Joyce Murkins-Robbins, and countless cousins, nieces and
nephews. Joan was an integral part of the Cambridge Citadel of the
Salvation Army where her kindness, generosity, leadership, and singing
voice will be deeply missed by her entire church family. In 1966 Joan
moved with her family from Bell Island, Newfoundland to Galt where she
became an important part of the community through her involvement with
The Salvation Army and her nearly 40 years working with Copp &
Cosman. In her 70th year Joan and Glen returned to her home province
and proudly conquered the climb up Gros Morne Mountain, displaying
what she always encouraged, “Live to your full
potential.”
