Passed away peacefully at South Huron Hospital, Exeter with her loving family by her side on Monday, October 27, 2025 at the age of 86. Beloved wife of Don Wallace for over 60 years. Cherished mother of Kate and Steve Brawn, Karen VanAltena and Basil Glavin, and Kevin and Tracey Wallace. Adored G-ma of Kendra and Teddy, Kurtis and Jessy, Michael and Clayson, Caity and Duncan, Mandy and Liam; Korey and Stacy, Kodey and Megan, Kyley and Darren, Darren G; Koleton, and Kameron and Brittney and loving GG of Gordie; Kayden, Kennedy; Kason, Karter; Emmett, Isabella, Violet; Emery, Easton, and Elgin. Dear sister-in-law of Erma and Jim Hickmott, Debbie Wallace, Linda Wallace, and Paul Wallace. Fondly remembered by her nephews and niece in-law Doug and Hailey Reid and Dale Reid, and her best friends Carol Scott, Nancy Beaver, and Sharon Dinney. Predeceased by brothers Jerry Reid, and Tommy Wallace, sister-in-law Joanne Steckly and her parents Mylo and Doris Reid.
Joanne’s love for her family knew no boundaries. She was affectionately known as “Mom” and “Grandma” to many beyond her own, always opening her heart and home to anyone in need. Her kindness and generosity left a lasting mark on countless lives. Throughout her life, she devoted her time and talents to helping others, creating and donating thousands of handmade hats, mitts, and scarves to the Huron County Christmas Bureau — a true reflection of her giving spirit and deep care for her community. She will be deeply missed by her beloved husband Don, her family, and all who were blessed to know her.
The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses at South Huron Hospital who provided Joanne with comfort and compassion in her final days.
Cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held at a later date.
Donations to Huron County Christmas Bureau in Joanne’s memory would be appreciated by the family.

I am so very sorry to hear of Joanne’s passing.
Your Mom always got one of my biggest smiles everytime I saw her, or got to chat, even briefly from the time I was a kid playing ball and road hockey with Kevin, or since moving back home to Exeter! Such a phenomenal person and I can only imagine how hard it will be without her.
Please accept my most kind and warm condolences.
