Joan Widmer (nee Wilson) passed away peacefully at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital on March 23rd, 2022, to be with her Lord, at the age of 90 years. Joan is lovingly remembered by her sons, Garth (Maureen) of Medicine Hat, Brent (Bernice) of Lamont, Warren (Debbie) of Sherwood Park, and Donald (Annette) of Medicine Hat; 11 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; her sister, Margaret Peterson of Edmonton, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Paul, and numerous brothers and sisters in law. Joan was born to Herb and Marion Wilson on February 21, 1932 in Edmonton. She and her sister, Margaret, were raised on a farm near Killam. Joan went to school in Killam, high school in Sedgewick, and later went to McTavish Business collage in Edmonton. While living in Edmonton, she met Paul Widmer. They were married January 6th, 1951 and settled on the Wilson Farm in Killam. In 1956, they moved to a farm west of Maple Creek. They then moved to Maple Creek in 1970 where Joan began working in the town’s office. Joan moved to Medicine Hat in 2009. She enjoyed her yard, the garden, her flowers, camping trips (especially in Cypress Hills Park). She loved her pets, socializing with her friends, going for lunch, Tim Horton’s runs, and going to dinner theatre. But mostly Joan loved her times with her grandchildren. Family and her faith were the most important things to her.
