Joann will be fondly remembered for the big smile that could light up the room, for the generosity, caring and love she extended to all she came in contact with; for her love of books, plants, flowers, her cat Max; and most of all for the love she showed her family and friends. Her passing leaves a great void for all who knew her.

Joann had requested that there be no memorial service. There will be a small gathering of family and close friends to celebrate the life of this wonderful person. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Arthritis Society, BC & Yukon Division, 895 West 10th Ave., Vancouver, BC V5Z 1L7, or your favourite chairty. Arrangements
