My sincerest condolences to Jennifer and all the family. Joanne was a Mentor to many people at the Pension Centre over the years. She was kind, caring and always supportive and helpful. I hope your wonderful memories of the life you've spent together brings you some comfort. May She rest in peace.

I wish to express my deepest condolences for your loss. I worked with Joanne at the Pension Centre for several years. Just 2 days ago, I asked your brother, John, how was Joanne. I am heartbroken to hear of her passing. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. Always in a good mood, would say hello when you seen her at work. I also met Jennifer at work. She was very nice, just like her Mom. I hope that you can all find the strength and courage to get through this very difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your guys loss. She was an amazing person and someone I am proud to call my aunt. I can't be there in person but my heart and thoughts are with you always.

Nos sincères sympathies dans ces temps difficile.

To you Dwight and family, mes sincères condoléances.

I worked closely with Joanne for a few years. She was an angel on earth, present in my life when I needed her most. She helped me through a very difficult time in my life. She was so kind and intelligent. My deepest sympathies to the whole family. ��

Nos plus sincères condoléances à vous deux et à la famille.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I had a chance to work with Joanne when I first started working at the Pension Centre. Joanne had a special gift in bringing smiles and sometimes bringing out her many talents as, I believe, Matilda. A special character that came to celebrate some events at work. She will dearly be remembered. My condolences to the family for their loss. Claudette.

Joanne and I worked together many years ago, and often spoke daily. She helped me get through my first pregnancy and I enjoyed our lovely chats, RiP to a beautiful soul.

I met Joanne while she visited her twin sister Suzanne in Saint-Lazare, such a lovely soul. I offer my deepest condolences to the entire family. Where there are no words….know the silences are carrying the thoughts and prayers of all who loved Joanne…ðŸ™�ðŸ�»

Dear Uncle Dwight, Angela, Heidi, Jennifer and families - There are no words to express how sorry I am to learn of Aunt Joanne's passing. The world has lost an incredible person, but we have all gained a wonderful angel. I have such loving and special memories of her and will cherish them always. Her warmth, generosity and big heart touched all of us. You have our sincere condolences, our deepest sympathies and our unending love. Erin, Ben, Henry and Dylan Austin - Ottawa ON

Your mother was truly a special person. I’ll always remember her kindness and her warm smile. She’ll be deeply missed. Her beautiful spirit lives on in you and your sisters. What wonderful memories you must have of her. She was a gift to everyone. May she rest in peace. Hugs!

Nos plus sincères condoléances à toute la famille.

So sorry to all.Angela Heidi Jennifer Dwight and friends.

Dwight and family, we would like to express our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

In Loving Memory of Joanne Beloved sister, twin, and friend “Thank you for loving me.” Five simple words… yet they carry the entire story of her heart. To Dwight and the entire family, and to all who loved Joanne, Please accept my deepest sympathies. As her twin, I feel your grief as deeply as my own, but I also feel immense gratitude for the precious bond we shared. Joanne lived her life helping others quietly, without needing recognition. She once wondered if she would leave an imprint on this world. My answer now is simple and certain: Yes. Without a doubt. Her kindness touched everyone she met. She made people feel seen, valued, and uplifted, often without even realizing it. She inspired me every day of our life together. As we remember her, let us continue her legacy by planting the same seeds of compassion, warmth, and gratitude she spread everywhere she went. In doing so, we honor her spirit and carry her light forward. Farewell, my dear sister. I love you so much. Until we meet again. With love, Suzanne & Family

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Leamsi Martinez

I wanted to share a few words simply as Suzanne’s son and someone who always cared for Aunt Joanne. To everyone who held Joanne close in their hearts, please accept my deepest condolences. When I was growing up, our families lived far apart, so I rarely had the chance to see her and never fully grasped the depth of the twin bond she shared with my mom. It was only later, once I was older and spent more time around them, that I understood how unique and special their connection truly was. There was something instinctive between them, a way of thinking and loving that felt completely in sync, and that shaped how I saw her daughters too. They never felt like cousins in the usual sense. To me it always felt like having extra sisters because the love and instinct of our mothers naturally reached all of us. Joanne had a calm and steady kindness that made you feel welcome and understood the moment she looked at you. I pray that God welcomes her into His light and that the warmth she carried stays with the whole family in the days ahead, just as it always did when she walked into a room.

My deepest condolences to family and friends. She was truly a wonderful soul and she is now with the other angels whom she always knew were there as our guardians. France Bourque

Dwight, Angela, Heidi, Jennifer and families We send our heartfelt condolences to you all, holding you close in our hearts and prayers. Sitting here listening to the cardinals, contemplating the loss of a dear sister. How she shared her beautiful smile, spirit and kind heart. So full of love and light. Her natural impulse was to offer support, guidance and care for all. Till the very end she was thinking of others. She spoke adoringly of her wonderful grandchildren and how so wished to spend more years with you all. She was so grateful for the commitment, care, support and love she received. I will especially cherish our conversations until her last few days and how she reminisced of fond childhood memories. HER BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS SHINE Francine and Martin

I had the privilege of working with Joanne for almost 20 years. She was a mentor to so many people, always so patient and encouraging. My sincere condolences to her family. God has truly welcomed home an angel.

Our sympathy on your loss. It was with sadness hearing of Joanne's passing, we'd lost touch. I worked and enjoyed time with Joanne. She was as we all know an amazing woman. I read her twin sister's note of condolences and her words say it all. Joanne was an angel on earth, we were blessed to be touched by her love. Michelle Little

I am so so sad to hear my good friend Joanne has gone to join the angels cause that is what she was an earth angel. My sympathies to Dwight, Angela, Heidi Jennifer and all her beautiful grand children and her sisters and brothers. She will be missed by many people

I worked with Joanne for many years at the Pension Centre. I was saddened to hear of her passing. Joanne was always very kind and supportive to me. I have great memories of her. My sincere condolences to Dwight and the family.

It is with saddened hearts that we offer our deepest condolences' to Dwight, Angela, Heidi, Jennifer and their immediate families, spouses and partners. It was not very long ago that I visited New Brunswick to see Joanne and brother in law Dwight as well as my 3 nieces (one from Alberta) and 2 great nieces Marissa and Melodie. Angela's 2 daughters Ellie and Aliyah (also my great nieces) did not make the trip this time and were at home in Edmonton AB During my visits with Joanne we reminisced about many childhood items. The one that I can never forget starts with Joanne and her twin sister Suzanne sitting in high chairs side by side. They were Identical Twins and Pa Calfat was trying to spoon feed them. Well all it took was a small distraction from one of our other siblings and Pa would yell out "I don't know which one I was feeding" Pa was constantly confusing the feeding order of the twins-LOL With that said we bid you farewell dear sister; always knowing you will be with other family members keeping a watchful eye on all of us. Paul and Colleen

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Joanne; she was such a wonderful woman. I had the privilege to have her as a mentor at the Pension Centre. Joanne was such a caring and inspirational mentor. She didn't just teach, she uplifted, encouraged and help shape the best in people and always with a beautiful smile. May her legacy live on in the countless lives she touched. My deepest sympathy to all the family, friends and ex co-workers.

Dear Mr. Cook, Angela, Heidi & Jennifer, My heartfelt condolances to all of you. Joanne was such a loving and generous woman. I am forever grateful for the many years she cared for our friend, Ann. And I will certainly miss our weekly telephone conversations. Be assured of my prayers in these difficult times. With love, Sr. Martine

We're so sorry for your loss; our thoughts are with you and your family. Pres-Du-Lac Staff.

To Dwight and family, Joanne was a true lifesaver for my sister Ann at Villa Providence. She made Ann's life a wonderful experience and she was our true safeguard for Ann's wellbeing, and she was with Ann to the end of her days. I thoroughly enjoyed all my lunches with Joanne; she was a fountain of knowledge and love, and she possessed unique spiritual gifts. I will miss her words and positive influence in my life. I'm saddened to see her leave this earth so soon. My deepest condolences to her family. She was such a wonderful and loving person.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of Joanne. Our thoughts are with your family during this incredibly difficult time. Joanne always radiated a beautiful energy. I loved sharing puzzles with her, and grateful for the flowers she shared from her garden. May you find comfort in the love you shared, the memories you hold close, and in knowing she was surrounded by peace and care.

Dwight and Family; So sorry to hear of the passing of Joanne.Our deepest condolences. May your memories help you in this time of sorrow. Take care. Steve & Patsy

My deepest condolences on the loss of Joanne. Working with Joanne was a true joy and I will always cherish Joanne's kindness and sense of humour. Joanne was a wonderful colleague and friend.

Dear Dwight and family, please receive our deepest condolences. We have fond memories of meeting up with you and Joanne in Shediac at Edwin and Laurie's place over our various summer vacations. We'll always remember Joanne for her joyful personality and her easy smile. May the Lord apply a peaceful balm to your pained heart.

Joanne was a true angel on earth. My sister, Ann, was mentally handicapped and Joanne “adopted” her. Joanne treated her like a member of her family. She decorated her room for every holiday. During COVID, Joanne trudged through the snow to Ann’s window so Ann could see her while they talked on the phone. For 18 years Joanne was her family. I could write a book on how she became Ann’s family. Joanne was the kindness, thoughtful and sweetest person I have ever known. She will be missed by so many. She was a role model of how to be a good person. Our family are blessed because we knew her. Condolences to her family and extended family.

I am deeply sadden of Joanne departure..may uall find peace knowing that she is at peace..flying like an angel as always.

Our sincere condolences Dwight to you and your family.

My deepest condolences to Dwight, Angela, Heidi, Jennifer and families. Joanne was a great friend. We first met in Lachute, Quebec, and we developed a close friendship for over 50 years. We would meet often when she came to Ottawa for business. Joanne was always keen to help others in so many ways. She has earned her wings and she will fly. . It brings peace to know we have a special angel watching over us. Thankyou to the family for allowing those who were not able to attend the service to participate virtually Goodbye dear friend, until we meet again.. Gail Sprott

Dear Dwight & family, so sorry to hear of Joanne’s passing. A beautiful sound gone way too soon. May she rest in peace.
