Dorothy Joan Paquette passed away peacefully on June 22, 2022, at the North Shore Hospice with her family by her side. Joan was born in Winnipeg in 1930 to Albert and Norah Tassie. She always carried fond memories of the city and the lifelong friends she made there. In 1953 she met George Paquette on a Winnipeg golf course and they would share 59 years of wedded happiness and raise five children. George was a member of the RCMP and over the years the family was posted in Corner Brook, Montreal and Winnipeg before retiring to North Vancouver. They enjoyed all that each of these cities had to offer, and Joan was always socially active whether it be as a young choir girl, an officer’s wife, as a sorority sister, as well as in golf and bridge clubs. In her later years, she moved into Amica Edgemont in North Vancouver and soon made many good friends there - they and the many staff members she thought very highly of brightened her days.
Joan was predeceased by husband George, daughter Anne as well as her brothers Albert and Alan. She is survived by children Michelle, Susan, Linda and Paul and grandchildren Emma, Eliza and Rodney.
There will be a private family interment. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the North Shore Hospice.
