BOND, Joan Winnifred

It is with profound sadness that we tell of the passing of our beloved mother in her 94 ^th year, suddenly at home on the evening of Saturday, April 11, 2015. Predeceased by her loving husband Tom, she was the cherished mother of Ann (Ron), Carolyn, Madilyn (Dave), Tom (Leona), and Brian. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Leslie (Duane), Christine (Robert), Gillian (John), Andrea (Peter), Ian (Jennifer), Brian, Thomas, and Stephanie (Ryan) and 16 great grandchildren. As one of the greatest generations, she was immensely proud of her wartime service in the ATS and her ongoing association with the 30 ^th Field Artillery, Army Officers Mess, and the Canadian Forces Postal Corp. Mum continued to be mobile and active in her senior years as a life member of the Mississippi Golf Club and she was sharp-of-mind taking great joy in defeating the daily Globe and Mail crossword puzzle. She will be missed by her sister-in-law Ann and her nieces Gillian and Wendy, all living in England, and by many, many friends and acquaintances on both sides of the Atlantic. Friends may call at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road (between Bayshore and Baseline Road), Nepean on Friday, April 17 ^th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m., and on Saturday, April 18 ^th from 10:00a.m. -12:00 p.m. A service celebrating Joan's life will be held in the chapel at 12:00 p.m. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Condolences, tributes and donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com
