The family of Joan Barbara Roberts is saddened to announce her passing on Jan. 25, 2012, after a courageous battle with leukemia. She died peacefully and with dignity at her home in Baddeck, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Sydney, she was the daughter of John A. and Nina (Lovett) Cameron. She was a member of Greenwood United Church, where in earlier years she taught Sunday school, and was a member of the church choir and U.C.W. She was also a member of the O.E.S for over 50 years.
She operated a B & B from her home on the Shore Road for over 17 years, where she made many friends from all over the world. She enjoyed travelling and working in her flower gardens and most of all spending time with her grandchildren.
Joan will be sadly missed by her husband of over 57 years, William; son, Richard (Shelagh), Baddeck; son, Hal (Evelyn), Summerland, B.C.; her beloved grandchildren, Crowdis, Michaela, Chloe and William; two step-grandchildren and five step-great-grandchildren; brother, Winston (Sally); sisters, Kay and Alice.
In addition to her parents she was predeceased by daughters, Leslie in 1982, and Katherine in infancy; brothers, Reid, Richard, Sandy and Hugh.
