July 7, 1951 - June 21, 2011

It is with great sadness that the family of Joan Bragg announces her passing at the age of 59, on Tuesday, June 21 at the Dr. Charles Legrow Health Center, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Joan was an extraordinary spirit and a true inspiration to all who knew her, especially her family. A cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister and best friend, Joan always had a smile for everybody and a gift for making everyone she knew feel special. She leaves to mourn, with loving and precious memories, husband Nelson Bragg, daughters, Cindy, Kim (Martin Watters) and Cathy (Dave Scharf) Bragg, grandchildren Claire Bragg, Caitlyn and Ella Scharf, sisters Jean Hardy, Cook (Beulah) Strickland (Leo), and Jocelyn Leamon (Rick) and many other special family and friends. She was predeceased by mother and father Maisie and Willoughby Pike, mother-in-law and father-in-law Madeline and Nathan Bragg, brothers Will (Mary) Pike and Frank (Marg) Pike, sister-in-law Sheila (Lorne) Munden and brother-in-law Alex (Jane) Hardy. May she join them forever in peace. In honor of Joan’s wishes, she has been cremated. Visitation will take place on Thursday June 23 from 2-4 PM and from 7-9 PM at East Haven Funeral Home. Funeral services will take place at St. James Anglican Church in Port Aux Basques on Friday June 24, 2 PM, officiated by Rev. Hannah Dicks. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
