Joan Curtis passed away peacefully on June 12, 2023 after a long life well-lived. Joan was born in Wallasey, Cheshire, the third of five
children, to Peter William and Gladys Aileen Nielsen. Always adventurous, Joan was a keen rambler and met her future husband Robert (“Bob”) whilst holidaying in the Lake District. They loved travelling together and with their three children, Malcolm, Susan and Alison. In 1966 they had a chance to move to Canada and always felt that this was the best place in the world to live. A talented painter, Joan created a wonderful visual record of favourite spots across the country. Predeceased by Bob, and her son, Malcolm, Joan is survived by daughters Susan and Alison, grand-daughters Cosima and Michaëla, son-in-law Neill, daughter-in-law, Corinne, and many other family members in the UK. Dearly loved, she will be greatly missed.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Susan and Alison, I just noticed Joan’s passing. Our condolences from the Stevens family. Marjorie is still doing well in long term care at age 104. Quite frail and bedridden now, she’s in amazingly good spirits. We were chatting yesterday about the good old days and Mom remembered all the times they walked together. She asked how her friend Joan was doing and if she was still alive, which is what made me check. She said to let you know how sorry she was to hear that. There’s not a lot she can remember these days, so that shows how important those times together were to her. It would have been 20 years ago this month that they got to know each other through the hospice walking group after their husbands passed. That pic of your Mom in her younger days is amazing. She was quite the lady. Wishing you and your families all the best. -Dave & Susan
