Tribute

Born on June 7, 1943, in San Francisco, California, Joan lived a full and vibrant life. An accomplished entrepreneur, she successfully ran several businesses over the years. She loved to travel and explored more than 60 countries around the world. Joan was also an avid reader, a wonderful cook, and a gracious host who delighted in bringing people together.

A devoted member of the Order of the Eastern Star for 21 years, Joan served as Secretary and Worthy Matron of Similkameen Chapter #78 in Oliver, British Columbia, as well as Grand Martha of the Grand Chapter of British Columbia and Yukon in 2013.

In addition to her dedication to the Eastern Star, Joan was a Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow and a previous member of Toastmasters International and Lions Clubs International, where she built lasting friendships and gave generously of her time and talents.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Charles; her daughters, Julie, Sharon, and Jennifer; and her grandchildren, Margaux, Ursula, Lawrence, Jeremy, and Jasper.
