Joan Marie Billingham
1931-2022
Joan Billingham (nee Sullivan), aged 90, formerly of Ottawa,
died peacefully in Riverview, NB on Saturday, February 12,
2022.
Joan was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with her
dear sisters Pauline (Sullivan) Mayall, who predeceased her, and
Elizabeth (Sullivan) Gordon. After completing a BA in English
Literature at Dalhousie University, she moved to Ottawa and joined the
Civil Service. Joan is predeceased by her first husband, Ray
Billingham, and her second husband, Frank Chellingworth; she was
fortunate to have two long and loving marriages. Joan loved to travel
in Canada and abroad, equally enjoying days spent hiking and evenings
of fine dining and theatre. She loved attending the
Stratford Festival and was quick to throw out a Shakespearean quote
given the opportunity.
Joan is survived by her daughters Carole Murphy (Stuart
Fergusson) and Susan Billingham, her step-daughters Lynne
Chellingworth (Eoin McManus) and Anne Atkins (Jeff), her lovely
grandchildren Kennedy (Michelle), Liam (Jess), and Siobhan
Murphy, Matthew (Karen) and John McManus (Kath), her
great-grandson Brody, and several nieces and nephews.
Her arrangements have been entrusted to Cobb’s
Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Rd, Riverview
(869-2007). Due to the current Covid restrictions, her family will be
holding an afternoon of remembrance at a later date at the funeral
home. A private interment will take place at a later date at Alderwood
Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society of
Canada in Joan’s memory would be appreciated by the family.
