Joan died peacefully on March 25, 2018, two days before her 100 ^th birthday at the Sunrise of Oakville. She was the beloved wife of the late George Merritt Campbell Wright; dear mother of Peter (Joan-Marie) of Edmonton, David (Kathy) of Burlington and Christopher (Donna) of Baden. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. Joan was predeceased by her brothers Martin Beardmore, Alfred Beardmore and Gordon Beardmore.

Other than the well-being of her family, Joan's passions were the games of golf and curling. Her competitive nature always rose to the occasion resulting in many tournament wins. She was always available to give assistance to the less experienced players encouraging them to strive more to achieve their goal. Joan also worked tirelessly on various committees in the Ontario Ladies Golf Association as Tournament Chairman for the Hamilton District and as District Chairman for the Mississauga District. Joan was very active working at the Canadian Open each year. She also volunteered her time at St. Jude's Church, Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and St. Richard's Church, Jekyll Island, Georgia.

Joan was born on March 27, 1918 in Leeds, England. She was raised in a loving family in Acton, Ontario and Montreal, Que. She moved back to Toronto and married George in 1940 before he went overseas during the war. They resided in Oakville for the rest of their lives. The family would sincerely wish to thank all the staff at Sunrise of Oakville, and the palliative team members, for their caring support.

The funeral will be held at St. Jude's Anglican Church, 160 William Street, Oakville on Tuesday April 10, 2018 @ 11:00 am with a reception afterwards in the St. Jude's Victoria Hall. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Joan's memory to St. Jude's Church. Online condolences may be left at www.koprivataylor.com
