Surrounded by family, Joan passed peacefully at the Oakville hospital. Joan was married for over 50 years to the love of her life, the late Bruce Johnson. Although Joan's family and friends are saddened by the suddenness of her death, it is comforting to know that she is finally at peace. Joan was an amazing woman who never gave up her fight to regain her health, in part so that she would dance at her granddaughters' weddings. Joan lived a full life as a loving wife, caring mother, sister, loyal friend, devoted Nana and nurse. Joan will be remembered by all who knew her ever-present smile, incredible sense of curiosity and her love of fun. A devoted and loving mother to Ian (Arree), Paul (Sam), Martha, Ned (Rachelle) and Leanne (Ron); proudest Nana to Heather, Christianne, Erin, Stephanie and Juliana; she will be greatly missed by her brothers Richard Farley (Marg) and David Farley; while pre deceased by her brother Stewart Farley (Jean); her nieces and nephews; her chosen family of incredible friends; her nursing colleagues and patients she worked with over the years. Joan missed her four legged buddy and loyal companion Annie. A longtime resident of Oakville she volunteered her time weekly to the Oakville Hospital. Joan was an avid bridge player, reader, golfer, Annie walker, mahjong player, traveler, and sports enthusiast. Her love for golf was kindled at the Oakville Golf Club from a young age. She was also the oldest living member of the Oakville Club where she played racquet sports and watched her children enjoy all the club had to offer. Joan had a beautiful bright smile she would unleash at the least provocation and a sparkle in her eyes that will always be remembered with much love and never forgotten.
