Joan enjoyed all sorts of crafts and loved baking, and decorating cakes.  When not cooking up a storm, she could often be found at the bowling ally.  Joan was a cat lover.  Her passion in life was her family and friends and she spent many happy hours exploring Vancouver Island, picnicking and camping.  She will be missed by all those whose life she touched. 

“Some people come into our lives and quietly stay . . .

Others stay for a while, leaving footprints in our hearts

And we are never the same”
