It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Joan Shebib, 70, on Friday, April 3, 2015, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital surrounded by her loving family.
Born in North Sydney, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Jean (Jeans) Shebib. Joan was an LPN working in mental health for over forty years. She spent most of her career with the Queen Street Mental Health Centre in Ontario, as well as with Community Mental Health, travelling throughout the city treating patients in their homes. After moving home to Cape Breton in 2005, she also worked relief shifts at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
Joan was a proud lung cancer survivor for many years. Since returning to Cape Breton Joan volunteered for a time with the Cape Breton Cancer Centre and Hospice Palliative Care of Cape Breton County. She was a member of St. Joseph parish.
Joan is survived by her three children, John (Tracey) Henderson of Burlington, Ont., Darrell (Jan) Downey of Toronto, Ann Marie (Paul) Glover of Brampton, Ont.; by her nine grandchildren, Philip and Laura Henderson, Shannon and Sarah Downey, Cory, Luke, Veronica, Aaron and Joanna Glover; by her two great-grandchildren, Jayden and Ariella; by her brother Lawrence (Cora) Shebib; her sister Marie (Mike) Penny, both of North Sydney; her sisters-in-law, Margaret Rose Shebib (Archie) of Brampton, Ont., Julia Shebib of Toronto and Judy Shebib (Clarence) of North Sydney and by many nieces and nephews. Also left to mourn Joan’s passing is her good friend Donalda Maxwell and her old friends affectionately known as "The Corner Gang."
She was predeceased by her parents and brothers, Paul, Gerald, Francis and John Victor Shebib.
There will be no visitation by request. A funeral mass will be held 10 a.m. Thursday, at St. Joseph Church, North Sydney with Rev. Patrick O’Neill officiating. Burial will take place at a later date in Holy Cross Cemetery.
