Joan was born in Glasgow Scotland and after graduating Glasgow University, she worked for Trans Canada Airlines in Prestwick, Scotland in 1947. She emigrated to Canada in 1956 with the airline and moved to Vancouver in 1964. In 1978 she reentered the workforce, as a Manuals Editor for BC Central Credit Union until she retired in 1992.
A resident of West Vancouver for 50 years, Joan was active at Hollyburn Country Club playing tennis and participating in fitness classes well into her early 90’s. Joan will also be fondly remembered for all of her volunteer work for several groups at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church.
Predeceased by her beloved husband Frank and her sisters Fiona and Catriona, Joan is survived by her loving family Nick (Yasuko) of Singapore and Rod (Sarah) of Bolton, Ontario and her three grandsons Keith, Michael and Gavin.
A Celebration of Life will be held at future date when health restrictions are reduced where Joan will be reunited with Frank in the Memorial Gardens at St Christopher’s.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society will be gratefully accepted
