Josephine Anne ‘Joanne’ Delaney passed away peacefully in her home on Tuesday, August 17, at the age of 66 years. She is predeceased by her beloved husband Martin, her parents Vincent and Mary, her brother James and sister Maryanne.
She is survived by her adoring daughter Bridget (Murray) Lute, her son James (Cassie) Delaney, her grandchildren Hunter, Hudson and Harlow, and her siblings Vincent (Vicki), John, Edward (Olga), Gerard (Mary) and Michael (Janine).
She also leaves behind many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Joanne was born in Peterborough, Ontario, the youngest of eight children. She was always proud of her family and would frequently visit and spend time in the family home where she grew up.
Joanne became a registered nurse at the age of twenty and went on to have a long and successful career.
Joanne met the love of her life, Martin, in Brule, Alberta in 1980. Martin thought that he was meeting his buddy Derrick’s aunt. Imagine his surprise when aunty Joanne turned out to be a beautiful 25-year-old nurse. Two years later they had two children who couldn’t have been blessed with a better Mom. The love and tenderness she showered on her children was carried forward to her grandchildren, who also couldn’t have asked for a better grandma.
Above all else Joanne loved spending time with her family, which always included ‘the animals’. She was an exceptional knitter, artist, singer, chef, scholar, nurse and friend. Joanne loved a good murder mystery and a good piece of chocolate, which she would enjoy while up at the lake with Martin.
Our hearts are aching, but we will live our lives in a way that makes her proud.
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to Dr. Wiltshire, Dr. Van der Merwe, Dr. Davis, Dr. Farrell and Dr. Michaels, as well as the P3 Community Team, RIH Cancer Clinic and Safeway Pharmacy. Each one of you helped our family more than we can ever express. Our gratitude is endless.
Donations in memory of Joanne may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
