In 1977, Joan and Bill left Edmonton and moved to Medicine Hat to open their auto dealership – Dunmore Honda. Joan enjoyed spending time with family and her friends. She was a wonderful host of many family occasions where one could count on favourites like, devilled eggs, flapper pie and cream puffs, to enjoy. Playing cards, doing crossword puzzles, drawing and painting were some of the things Joan liked to do. Joan had a ready smile for all she encountered and freely expressed her gratitude to those who helped her in any way. She will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her. Joan’s memory will live on within her sons, Robert, Ken (Linda), and Hugh (Melinda); sister, Shirley Bowler and family; grandchildren, Rhyan (Darren), Adam (Jocelyn), Nigel, Nathan, Derek and Jacqueline; great-grandchildren, Dylan and Brody as well as all those who held a special place in her heart.
