To Louie, Laurie, Elaine and Family - My Mom and I wanted to send our most sincere sympathy on Joan's recent passing. My Mom notes she so cherished her long friendship with Joan, the chats on the telephone, the time spent bowling, and the lovely birthday dinners over the years. I know growing up in Smiths Falls, it was always so fun to cross paths with Joan and Louie and the ever positivity and welcoming...hugs from Joan were the best. Positive and warm thoughts to you and the family, and we wanted you to know that Joan was oh so special to us and so many. Keep safe and well.

To Joan's family. I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. My father, Charles Fitzgerald, and Joan's grandmother, Theresa (Fitzgerald) Judge, were brother and sister. Theresa was the oldest of 10 children, and my father was the youngest. I have many very good memories of Joan over the years. She was always such a happy, pleasant and kind lady. She will be missed by many. Cherish your memories, as they will bring you comfort.....Marsha (Fitzgerald) McFadden.

Joanie, I have known you for the better part of my life. You were such a kind, gentle, compassionate soul, who never thought or spoke badly of anyone.
I am very blessed to have had the past few years to grow closer with you through our Potluck Sisters. We had some pretty good and funny times, times I will cherish for the rest of my time.
Our sincere condolences to Louie, Elaine & Wayne, Laurie, Ken, Kurt, Justin, Heidi, Cambrie, Van and Livvi. Keep those memories close they will carry you through your darkest days.
Rest easy Joanie girl, we will miss you terribly.

To the whole family, Angelo's was within walking distance to home, and Joan was often our waitress, imagine my surprise when years later I find out she was the Mom of new friend. Even though I wasn't one of the neighbourhood girls that grew up together, Joan always made me feel welcome.
May your memories bring smiles, as I will remember Joan in positive ways, her huge smile and great sense of humour.
