1925 - 2016
It is with great sadness that we report the passing
of Joan Williams. She passed away quietly on
August 29th, at the Inglewood Care Centre in West
Vancouver.
She enjoyed her long life, met its challenges with
amazing resilience and equanimity, and felt sincere
gratitude for her many blessings. She will be
remembered by everyone who knew her for her
kindness, generosity, and community contributions.
She took great pleasure in her many years of volunteer
work with the Vancouver United Ostomy Association
and the West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Centre,
working with the wonderful friends she made.
Joan was predeceased by her devoted husband
of 51 years, Ivor Gordon Williams (d. 2004). She is
survived by her two sons, Paul (Merry) and Evan
(Val), and their families. She also leaves behind
many close and caring extended family members.
She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
