Joan was predeceased by her husband Al, mother and father, Gladys and Archie Moreen, sister Marilyn (Diggy), sister Carol (Del).
Mom will be sadly missed by her four children Jeff (Lorraine), Dana (Tony) and granddaughter Jenna, Steven, Mark (Kerry) and grandsons Justin, Ryan and Jordan. She will also be missed by nephew Michael Millard and son Brandon, the Duncan family, Cousin Linda and brother in law Gary Duguay.
Mom was first and foremost a caregiver, she loved to fuss and worry over everyone. If you had a problem it would become hers. Mom truly loved her animals. Whether it be at her house on Crofton Bay or at her cottage at Grand Marais all her animals were taken care of. Mom’s yard was always alive with her birds, chipmunks (Charlie), rabbits and even ducks. Dad built many a cage to nurse her animals back to health. Mom loved the cottage spending time with all of her beach friends.
Our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff and volunteers of Jocelyn House for the care given to our mom the past four months. Mom was shy by nature, but quickly felt at home. She enjoyed helping with dishes, re-potting the household plants and watching the deer along the Seine River.
“I go from you gently for it is my time to take the next step in this journey of mine. Don’t grieve for me long I’ve not left you alone for I will be with you in love that we’ve known. That love is forever and someday when it’s time you’ll join me again on this journey of mine”.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Jocelyn House Hospice or the Winnipeg Humane Society.
