It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Joanne on 2024-Mar-09 in Victoria. Born on July 6, 1966 in Chilliwack, Jo loved people and had a genuine curiosity and interest in everyone she met, especially members of her extended family. She enjoyed doing artistic, creative things with found materials as well as painting and photography. She shared her art and expression through her instagram account. Joanne sought the beauty in everyday things and loved to take a swim in the ocean at any time of year. Her beloved cat, Athena was a constant companion. She brought colour and love and laughter to the world but she was most proud of being mom to Patrick and James, Joanne will forever be remembered for her big heart and contagious, explosive laugh.
She is survived by partner Henry, sons Patrick and James, her brother Duncan, numerous sisters and brothers in law, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by spouse and father of her children Rod and parents Margaret and Jim.
Jo’s infections smile and laugh brightened any room ! Her beautiful spirit has touched us all and the world is better place because of her love and care.
My heart breaks for her wonderful boys who she loved to the ends of the Earth and Henry, Duncan and all her family.
Her lovely spirit is among us.
Feel blessed to have known Joanne. She was a lovely person with a beautiful soul. I will miss her.
