Tony & Family: Sorry to hear of your loss. Joanne will be greatly missed by all our staff at Northern Credit Union. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. From Mark Roy, Sylvie Mazzocato, Sharon MacKinnon, Sarah Snowdon & Jessica Lingenfelter.

It seems only weeks ago that I was speaking to Joanne. We went to high school together and, although I left town for a number of years, when I met her one day at Extendicare it was as though we had just walked out of the classroom. We had a great time catching up. Joanne was a compassionate and gentle caregiver to my in-laws, Bill and Irene Kallio, at Extendicare. It is with certainty that I know she shared those same qualities with other residents. When she talked of her family her eyes lit up – she was SO proud of you – and when we re-counted stories of her cousins’ escapades in high school (Bill and Tom!), she laughed a deep belly laugh. That’s how I will remember her – eyes twinkling and laughing deeply. Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

My deepest sympathies to all of you. Joanne was a wonderful woman who was giving, loving, and compassionate. She will be missed by all who knew her. Bless you, Lynn

My deepest condolences go out to Brandy and her family at this very difficult time. Your mom will be truly missed. xo

My deepest condolences to Tony and family. Joanne often spoke of you and was so proud of each and every one of you. She was very compassionate with all our residents and she will be truly missed by all the residents and staff at Extendicare.

Tony and Family:My deepest Sympathy goes out to you and your family during your loss. Doreen Warren

So very sorry to hear of Joanne’s passing. Joanne and I had many happy times together in Kirkland Lake, and kept touch through college, and then, regrettably, we lost touch over the years and miles that separated us. My condolences to all of Joanne’s family. Carol Adams (Urquhart)

Joanne. What are we going to do without you. You have always shown unconditional love to everyone who crosses your lifepath. Will miss you so.

Joanne and I were friends during our high school and college years. I remember lots of laughter and fun times. She was a wonderful person and I was blessed to know her. My thoughts are with the family at this time.

Dear Tony and family; We are wintering in Texas and I just found out this morning about Joanne’s passing. I am shocked and saddened. We had many a chit chat at the Credit Union, poor Joanne could never get her banking done in good time if I spotted her at the counter. ha My deepest condolances to you and your family Tony. I hope to be back the spring to attend any services at the Round Lake cemetary. Big hug. Pat Parkman
