Joanie passed away peacefully surrounded by her family.

She will be greatly missed by her loving husband of 35 years David, daughters Claire and Emily, and son-in-law Nathan. Supportive sister to Kate, Gavin, and the late Ailene. Sister in law to Sylvia and June, beloved Aunt to many nieces and nephews abroad.

Joanie had a contagious smile, vivacious laugh, and magnetic personality.

She believed strongly in the power of connection and in always saying, "I love you" to those she cared for.
