Joan Marie Spurrell Obituary
Joan Spurrell
April 22, 1961 – March 2, 2024
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Joan Spurrell, a lifelong resident of Drayton Valley. Joan departed this world on Saturday, March 2, 2024, at Drayton Valley Hospital and Care Centre after a courageous battle with cancer, finding peace in her final moments at the age of 62 years.
Joan’s selfless spirit shone brightly through her dedication as an enthusiastic volunteer in the schools her children attended. She also served as a steadfast volunteer with the Legion executive for over a decade. Joan was also involved with the Cadets and Scouts, along side her husband Paul, where she earned the endearing title of “Momma Bear” to many of the youngsters. Joan’s legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering support will forever be remembered by those whose lives she touched. May she rest in eternal peace, her memory living on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Joan will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Paul; children, Deborah and Craig; granddaughter, Nylah; her father, Ernie Gill; siblings, Carol, Bruce and Keith Gill, as well as an extremely large extended family and many friends.
She is predeceased by her mother, Margery Gill; grandparents, Lawrence and Gladys Gill and Jack & Ethal Hawkins.
All are welcome to join Joan’s family as they celebrate her beautiful life at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #269, 5204 , 51 Avenue, Drayton Valley, Alberta on Saturday, March 30, 2023 at 1:00 p.m.
Paul and family wish to extend their gratitude to Drayton Valley Hospital and Care Centre, as well as to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #269 for their support and continued care throughout Joan’s illness.
In keeping with Joan’s spirit of volunteerism and dedication, her family asks that you please consider memorial donations made directly to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #269, Box 5240, Drayton Valley, Alberta T7A 1R4, where she was a member since 1979 and served on the Executive for many years.
