Joan was a beautiful person inside and out.I was blessed to have her as mentor and friend for the last 55 years of my life.She was an incredibly strong person who was surrounded and supported by a family (human and canine)who loved her very much.
I am sure she will stay close to all of us and will always have a warm spot in our hearts.

Joan has been an inspiration and a loving friend to our family for the past forty years. She and Colin, Suzie, Debbie, Louisa, Joe, David, and the children have surrounded and supported each other with love and deepest caring. Their constancy, laughter, many poodles, beautiful gardens, lovely dinners, and projects of all kinds have been shared with other family members and friends so generously and lovingly.
Joan was a very fine singer and dedicated musician. She loved music and took pride in singing with the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul's outstanding choir. I'm so grateful to have met her there and to have become constant friends.
Michael and I, Andréa and Simon cherish the friendship and love shared with the Oates family.
We will miss you Joan but you will always be close to our hearts.
with love always;
Kerry-Anne, Michael, Andréa and Simon

Every day of our 68 years of marriage, my beloved wife Joanne became more loving, more caring and more beautiful. She was my compass and without her I shall be eternally lost. She shall always be in my heart

I will remember Joan’s warm smile and charming personality. A lady in every sense of the word who was loved by her devoted family. She will be sorely missed. May she Rest In Peace.

From JoAnn, Erich and Philipp Grimm
Joan's grace and refinement were not just surface qualities...she was an enlightened and deeply caring human being.
Although she trained as a coloratura soprano, her family always came first. She found her " musical home " amongst the camaraderie of the accomplished musicians who comprised the prestigious choir of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul in Montreal. This is where we first met her, singing next to her in the soprano section, where she was a devoted and lifelong member. ..Eventually our friendship grew to include her dear Colin and entire family.
Dear Joan, your generosity, compassion, wisdom - and music - will live in our hearts always. May the Angels lead you into Paradise.

I have known Joan for almost forty years. Over those years she became a true friend, offering unstinting support, good council and the unfailing ability to listen without censure .Her talent was one of great and true kindness, freely given to all. With her passing we have lost a fine lady, a true friend and a great role model, In her memory I promise to pay that kindness forward in repayment of the debt of friendship I shall always owe to her.
Good night sweet lady , a thousand angels guide thee to thy rest
