It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of our dear sister and friend, Jo-Anne Juliette Robichaud, on May 5, 2026 in London, Ontario.

Jo-Anne was born in Moncton, NB, to Dora Landry and Robert Robichaud on April 6, 1951. She will sadly be missed by her son, Justin; her sisters: Lucille Frenette (late John), Simone LeBlanc (Leonard) and Valerie (Tom); and her brother, John (Jane). She will also be missed by her close friends on the eighth floor of Cherryhill in London, Ontario. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brothers: Edgar (Bob) and Peter; and her sisters: Roberta, Francine and Marcia.

Jo-Anne was a very special person to all who knew her. A kind, gentle, sincere, intelligent lady who was also a fighter who overcame some very trying situations in her life. She fought back from spending many of her childhood years in hospitals to have a very successful career as a graphic artist. She graduated from Beal Art in 1970 and later worked for Hearn/Kelly Printing, TGP Advertising, Burnett Cooper Group and others until 2003. From 2003 to 2016, she was an employee of LHSC University Hospital in London.

Sincere thanks to all the doctors, nurses and staff at LHSC who took very good care of Jo-Anne.

To honor Jo-Anne’s wishes, there will be no viewing; a private gravesite ceremony will take place. Contributions in her memory may be made to LHSF – Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre, Arthritis Society Canada or The War Amps.

"So please let go of this painful fight

Your body is so tired and worn tonight

Let go, let go, drift off to sleep

Waiting for you is heavenly peace."
