Joan, passed away on 2nd November, 2026 in a private care home, aged 95 years, of Clitheroe. The dearly loved wife of the late Alwin, much-loved mum of Linda and Sarah, dear mother-in-law of Ian, loving grandma to Charlie and Ruby, and a cherished great-grandma of Gigi, and a much loved cousin of Olga.
Joan spent much of her working life with Ribble Valley Borough Council enjoying the friendships she made there. In her younger years, she was a keen walker. She was always very much a homebird and retirement opened a whole new world with Joan discovering the joys of travel and she travelled the world visiting fascinating places such as Peru, with Canada becoming a favourite destination. Joan also helped look after the grandchildren when they were young.
At home Joan loved to watch her TV quiz shows and historic dramas.
May she rest in peace perfect peace.
