She worked for many years as a ward clerk at Misericordia Hospital. She served her community through the local church food bank, Our Place Chez Nous Drop In Centre, Thrive Thrift Shop and served on the Board for the Lay Franciscans.

Her faith and her family were of the utmost importance to her. Joan had a strong devotion to Mary and prayed for her family and friends.
