Joan Marie (Brown) Moher

JOAN MARIE MOHER (nee BROWN) Joan Marie Moher, beloved wife of the late William P. Moher, and loving mother of her son Brian (pre-deceased), entered into eternal peace Thursday, June 13, 2019 at Southlake Regional Hospital in her 90th year. She will be missed dearly by her five children: Suzanne (Roy) Thomas, Cathy (Frank) Quinn, Mike (Eva) Moher, Barbara (John) Regan, and Kevin (Sue-Ann) Moher. Joan was a loving grandmother (Pama) to her fifteen grandchildren: Christen, Breanne, Matt, Caitlin, Lauren, Anders, Hanna, Catherine, Brian, Connor, Shannon, Sarah, Heather, Liam, Christopher, and eight great-grandchildren: Lucille, Luke, Mila, Easton, Sophie, Anna, Laura and Henry. Predeceased by her parents, Redmond and Rita Brown, and her brothers, Walter, Edward, and Gordon Brown. Joan grew up in Toronto and spent time as a child at Windy Ridge farm in King Township. It was here she developed a passion for gardening, and her love of animals. She graduated from St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto, where she met her husband William, and proudly mounted her degree above a sewing machine, where she skillfully crafted clothing and knitting for her large family, with love. Joan enjoyed hosting weekends at her recreational farm in Medonté, extensive travel with her husband, and many years with family and friends in Naples, Florida. Joan’s family was blessed with a proud mother of six children, a benevolent matriarch and role model of wisdom and grace, patience, resilience, kindness and love. Joan dedicated her life to family and friends and was strongly devoted to her faith. Her children extend gratitude for the caring respite support Joan received at Hollandview Trail Retirement Residence. A private funeral mass will be held at Our Lady of Grace Church where Joan has been a long-time parishioner.
