It is with great sadness that the family of Joan Miriam McCluskey announces her passing on Wednesday, February 18, 2015, at the Moncton Hospital. Born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1931, Joan was raised in Elmsdale, PEI, the daughter of the late Ronald and Gertrude McKenna. Joan will be sadly missed by her loving husband of 53 years, Bernie McCluskey; her children, Patrick (Marlene), Paula (Ernie), Michael (Denise); grandchildren, Kyle, Ryan, Richard and Kaitlin. Joan also leaves to mourn two sisters, Norma and Catherine; a brother, Dale (Eileen); many nieces and nephews, and dear cousin, Florence Ann. She was predeceased by one sister, Aileen.
