JoAnne Milley
Ottawa
Peacefully in Ottawa on Monday, Sept. 27, 2010, lost her brief struggle with cancer, at the age of 67 years.
She was predeceased by her parents, Mary (Flynn) and Greg McVarish and by her husband, Billy.
She is survived by her brothers, Johnny (Arlene), Darryl (Beverly) and Terry. She was a loving mother to Susan (Gerry), Greg and Keith (Ella). She was grandmother of Carla, Carl, Tracy, Colin, Brett and Keith and great-grandmother of Max. She was adoptive grandmother to James and Heather. She was known to many, in recent years, as Grandma.
JoAnne moved to Ottawa in March of 1999 to help care for her grandchildren. She greatly enjoyed reading, tried her luck at many a bingo game. She loved to bake and to cook and took great pleasure in chatting with her dearest friend, the recently deceased, Bev Coady.
She returned to Cape Breton for a few visits with those that mattered most to her, her son and his family, her brothers and their families, her granddaughter and her friends; and was always sad to get back on the plane leaving Cape Breton behind.
At JoAnne's request there will be no visitation or service. A private family graveside service is planned.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation, 3045 Baseline Rd., Ottawa, K2H 8P4 in recognition of the dedication, compassion, love and support everyone showed JoAnne while she was there.
