We are very sorry to inform you of the passing of JOAN ELLEN ELLIS nee PATIENCE – 1947—2021.
She was a strong independent woman, generous and kind, a wonderful, faithful and caring daughter, wife, sister and friend.
She loved life.
She was a fun-loving person who loved to dance, especially at Carnival time, enjoyed a good joke and always kept in touch with her family and friends.
She was a devoted wife to Ramon, caring for him during his illness and keeping his memory alive after he was gone.
She was a great organizer and always wanted to get the job done as well and as quickly as possible. Some people said that she was bossy but she was committed to getting the job done.
She approached her illness with courage and was stoic in her acceptance of the pain and difficulties she faced, keeping cheerful at most times, to the end.
She will be loved, remembered and sorely missed by all who knew her.
