Joan Young
1932-2021
Young, Joan
Doreen
Passed away peacefully at the Guelph General Hospital on
Wednesday, December 29,2021 at the age of 89. Beloved wife
of Alan R. Young. Loving mother of Jeannette Poulin (Bruce)
of Guelph, Stephen Dignard (Caroll) of Sarnia and Liane Dignard, also
of Sarnia. Proud grandmother of Taylor (Sarah Draper)
,Elyse, Jeremy, Michelle (Mark), Megan, Aurora, Megan (Rob), Cody,
Garrett and Jerri; great grandmother of Elijah, Jayden and
Andrew. Joan will be fondly remembered by the extended
Collinson family, and by Alan’s children: Craig Young, Laura
Murray and Linda Burnett and their families. Predeceased by
her parents Francis Collinson and Hazel Tipling Collinson and by her
oldest son Kevin Dignard (2019). Joan (“Nana” to
most) will be remembered for her fierce tenacity, propensity to speak
her mind with few filters, questionable medical remedies, love of
dance and a desire to feed the masses. Joan was an ardent
“yard saler”, and some of her
“finds” have become family heirlooms. The family,
especially the grandchildren, will remember many wonderful summers at
the trailer on Canal Lake in the Kawarthas, Joan’s
birthplace and the area she loved so dearly. Cremation has taken
place. If desired, memorial contributions to Diabetes Canada
would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to
GILCHRIST CHAPEL – McIntyre
& Wilkie Funeral Home, One Delhi Street, Guelph,
(519-824-0031). We invite you to
leave your memories and donations online at: www.gilchristchapel.com
and they will be forwarded to the family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Joan Young 19322021..
