It is with profound sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Jean Joiner at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa, on January 9, 2023 , in her 99th year, born February 15, 1924 in Temiscaming, Quebec. Beloved wife of the late David William Joiner for 64 years. Cherished mother of Janice, David (Carol Ann) and Sandra (Rick). Much loved Nanny of Cara (Connor), Katie (Henk), Erin (Jeremy), Lena, Kaitlyn (Brandon) and Hannah and Great-Nanny to Ivy, Zaiden and Hadley. She leaves behind her dear brother Rene Cayen. Predeceased by her parents Eva Brazeau and William Cayen, her brothers Gerry (Gisele), John (Sarah) and her sisters Eva (Edmund Chaput), Sister Alice (Sisters of Charity) and Terry (Lionel Presseault). Jean will be missed by many nieces, nephews, family members and friends.
Jean was a WWII veteran and served with the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service from 1944 to 1946. Jean was blessed to marry the love of her life and they were able to travel extensively throughout their lives with their best friends Betty and Bert Joiner. She also enjoyed reading, bingo, tennis, curling and bridge but Jean’s greatest joy was being with her family which included glorious summers spent at the family cottage at Otter Lake, Quebec. Jean’s faith was a very important part of her life, she was an active member of St. Augustine’s Parish since 1956.
