To Laura, Harold and the Chesney families : So very, very sad to learn of Joan’s passing. We often chatted and compared challenges of working an Emergency Room. We had the same job, just different places. Your Dad and my late hubby, Rod, were close, close friends so we always had stories to share. Joan was the ultimate nurse, always professional, kind, brilliant at her job. I am so happy to have known her as a fellow nurse but also a wonderful friend. Rest in Peace dear Joan and prayers and hugs to your family. Joyce Doig.

I was so sorry to hear about Joan’s passing and send my sympathy to her family and many friends. Joan and I attended SDHS together and even though we did not meet often in the years following she never forgot our high school years. We both ended up in the hospital auxiliaries of out local hospitals of Seaforth and Clinton. Joan was always a thoughtful and kind person and I know she will be greatly missed by many whose hearts she touched. Enjoy the many memories that she left for sharing.

My sympathy to Laura, Harold and your families

Joan was a wonderfully warm and caring person, she truly lived her vocation.
Her competent, empathetic nature was a support to so many.
I will always remember her making sure to connect with me annually while I was on the board for the Women’s Shelter and make a donation – and then in true Joan fashion, apologize for not having time to volunteer her time there as well.
She epitomized the word caregiver.

To Joan’s family
I have known Joan for several years, and reconnected with her through Relay for Life (Canadian Cancer Society)

To Harold and Laura and your families…..I was part of the SCH team/family for many years with Joan. She was a leader on so many levels and I truly did admire her for oh so many reasons. She was calm and kind, knowledgeable yet humble. I would see her handwritten notes throughout the department many years after she left, and they always made me smile. Rest easy Joan. 💞
You’ve made a difference and you will be missed.

Harold and Laura and families; Our deepest sympathy to you and all your family. When Janet’s was still open, we often had coffee together. Joan was always friendly with a smile. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
Gordon and Irma Pryce.

We’re so sorry for your loss, Laura and Harold. Your mother was an extraordinary lady, remembered not only for her kindness, but also for her lifelong commitment to caring for others. Her many years as a nurse and her tireless volunteering with the hospital auxiliary touched countless lives in our community. She gave so much of herself to her patients, her friends, and her town, always with generosity and compassion.

She was also our mom’s dearest friend for over 50 years, and we will always treasure the bond they shared and the memories of the many times they spent together. We hope it brings you comfort to know how deeply she was loved and how greatly she will be missed.

Our deepest condolences to you both and to your families.

With love,
Frances Teatero, Larry, Leo and Lorne and our families

Dear Laura and your family
I met your mother as a patient and later as a Hospital Auxilary member I visited her upstairs while she was so very sick at Stratford Hospital. She was always so smiling and kind to me and we were good friends. Her Hospital vest was covered with important pins which she certainly deserved.
Love and hugs to you all there.
