Joan worked most of her years at the Strand Restaurant in
Blacks Harbour as both waitress and cook. She was known for her
delicious pies. She made friendships there that lasted a lifetime. She
then worked at the Can Shop for Connors Brothers, where she also made
lasting friendships. She is a member of their lunch club to this day.
She was a member of Christ Church (Anglican), Pennfield, she so loved
her little church. She was also a member of the Eastern Star, holding
an office for many years.
Joan’s greatest love was her children and grandchildren and
her little dog, Rosie. Her greatest passion was to make sure they had
everything they needed in life and to keep them well fed. Her love for
the holidays, Christmas and Easter especially will live on in her
family.
She will be missed in her community for her big heart and
missed immensely by the family she leaves behind, especially her
husband of 63 years who took such great care of her with so much love
and compassion.
