"LIFE IS TOO SHORT, BUY THE SHOES." JOAN was just an amazing woman, nurse and friend. The times I was with JOAN I never heard her complain once, she always had a smile, never negative. It was such an honour to drive her to appointments, visiting with her.. She will be missed but her pain is finally gone. My thoughts and prayers are with her sister and 2 brothers. Mary Keays
Am thinking fondly of Joan when we attending Nursing School. My thoughts to you all at this time. Joan will be missed . Fondly Heather Cass-Kerr
I had the honor of meeting Joan while training at St Joe's in London and she was our valedictorian for the class of 1975. During these 2 years I got to know a smart, intuitive and caring person. Although our paths only crossed at our 5 year reunions after graduation, I heard numerous stories of her skills in the bone department and her caring ways with her patients. Our song was "Make me a channel of your peace" and I truly hope that is where she is now, at peace. Condolences to Barb and family and a thankyou for enabling us to keep in touch with her via email during her long journey. Sincerely, Wendy (McClorry) Kelly
My sincere condolences to the Elliott family. Joan will be missed.

Doug, John, Barb and families : It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of your beloved sister and aunt, Joan. Joan was such a wonderful person to talk to and be around .... certainly a classy lady .... in describing her character and personality. She will never be forgotten.
Joan and I completed our Nurse training at St. Joseph,s Hospital in London. graduating together in 1975. It was very special to link up with Joan again when she started nursing on 9 IP at University Hospital. Joan was an outstanding Nurse with patience galore giving an 120 % to all her clients always. She was a special mentor to us all. Joan has left a great legacy to all who knew her! Prayers to all her Family & Friends. Karen Cornell
