Joan was one of the most beloved members of St. Stephen and St. Bede. Getting to know her was one of the greatest gifts we have been given. We enjoyed her company at church and when we went out for lunch afterward. Joan worked tirelessly at the church, volunteering whenever she was needed. We were all spoiled with the fresh baking she made for coffee after church. Even though she hadn't been feeling well for some time, she rarely missed coming to church and continued her volunteer activities. It will be difficult to go to church and not have her there. Our sympathy to her family. We love you Joan. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Donna and Steve Friesen (friends) on: May 04, 2025
