The grandchildren all have fond memories of “Christmas at Grama’s house” filled with ice cream sundaes and novelty gifts she made for all!
Joan was an active member of the Port Perry Senior’s Club and she received the Ontario Citizens award for volunteering in the community. She was an excellent seamstress, making costumes and wedding attire over the years. She enjoyed all her lifelong friends and loved entertaining big crowds and hosting parties. Joan enjoyed travelling across North America with Gord in their motorhome. They also took their grandchildren on several trips to Florida and Northern Ontario. Joan’s daily routine always included feeding the squirrels and the birds. Special thanks to the staff at Port Perry Place for all the care they provided. We will always carry your memory in our hearts.
