Obituary For Joan Elizabeth Whiteway
It is with great sadness that the family of the late Joan E. Whiteway, announces her passing at Grande Prairie Regional Hospital, after a courageous battle with cancer on Thursday, January 13, 2022, at the age of 65 years.
Born January 12, 1957, to John and Maude Whiteway of St. Juliens, NL. She moved to Goose Cove, NL, and raised her three daughters. She had a warm heart, and her joy of knitting and quilting kept many family and friends warm. Joan was a hard worker and was always there to lend a hand. If you needed help, you just had to mention it. She was someone you could always count on.
Joan was a very strong and independent person. She was a generous and loyal mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She gave to anyone in need. Her motto was “If I can’t give that, it’s not much odds.”
Joan will be dearly missed by her daughters: Sylvia (Scott), Nicole (Luke), and Chelsea (Eric); grandchildren Dominique (Johnathan) and Ryder; siblings: Edward (Bonnie), Lill (Ed), Anne (Wayne), Gord (Laverne), Rose (Kev), Ken (Regina), Daphne (Dwayne), Sharon (Roy), and Cora (Jeff); sister in-law Jackie; as well as all her work family at Curtis Hospital in St. Anthony, NL.
She was predeceased by parents John and Maude Whiteway, brother Kevin and sister Phyllis.
Our hearts are heavy, but we take comfort in knowing she is free from her pain.
In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations may be made in her memory to the Canadian Cancer Society AB/NWT Division (200, 325 Manning Road NE, Calgary, AB, T2E 2P5).
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Joan Elizabeth Whiteway January 12 1957 January 13 2022..
