Joan graduated from Canterbury High School and later from Mount Allison in 1952. She moved to Saint John to work at the Bank of Nova Scotia and later retired from the private accounting firm of A.M Chipman. Joanie’s life was dedicated to her family and friends. She loved spending her summers at the family cottage on Grand Lake and frequent travel with both Gerry and friends to many destinations. Many hours were spent playing bridge with her very special friends, golfing, cross country skiing and skating. She was a warm, loving and fun Grammie to her precious grandchildren.
Joan was a member of St. Mark’s United Church and an active member of the UCW for many years. She would often tell stories of her many cherished memories working in the church.
Joan will be sadly missed by her sons: Andrew (Holly) of Quispamsis, and David (Carolyn) of Moncton; beloved grandchildren: William, Matthew, Madeleine, and Mikayla; her sister, Shirley Wishart (Don); four nephews, and one niece.
