Joe Noonan and had 5 children. They travelled across the world and made many places
such as Whitehorse, New Zealand, and U.S.A. home. Joan and Joe parted company and
Joan raised the five children by babysitting for the friends and family of the area. Joan .
met and joined families with Keith Scott. They both adored the Legion and shared many
interests. She enjoyed camping and spending time with Keith. Waking up early in the
morning and spending time in her Gazebo which overlooked her huge garden and apple
trees was where you could fmd Joan. She loved her family and friends. Joan cherished
children whether they were her own or the ones she babysat. She was known as Auntie
Joan by all the children she babysat. Joan loved her pets. They were as valued as her
children. Joan enjoyed her garden, knitting, along with making jams and preserves. Her kitchen was always full of
company, and she enjoyed seeing everyone come in and have a visit. Joan loved to watch
