SCHOFIELD-RAFUSE (Zinck), Joan Marie — 73, of Waterville, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 26, 2012, in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville. Born in Berwick, she was a daughter of the late Aseph and Doris (Zinck) O'Neil. Joan worked as an x-ray technician for many years at the old Blanchard Fraser Memorial Hospital, Kentville. She loved baking and knitting as well as writing to pen pals all over the country. During her marriage with Keith one of their favourite pastimes was card playing. Joan will be remembered by her family for her sheer devotion and loyalty to them throughout the years and the girls fondly remember their mom’s dedication to trips and events they were in as Majorettes.
