Joan Aleta Dickson

DICKSON, JOAN ALETA Nee: Cruickshank passed away peacefully at Greenview Lodge one month short of her 90th Birthday. Predeceased by her husband John William (2013) and her parents James Walker Cruickshank (1986) and Aleta Cruickshank (nee Johnson 1987). Joan was the matriarch of the Dickson Family and will be sorely missed by her son Peter, daughter Laurie and son-in-law Jeffrey Wanamaker; son Richard and daughter Leslie. Joan was blessed with seven grandchildren –Sarah, Drew, Ben, Johnny, Mary, Lauren and Summer who will miss their Grammie dearly. Joan is also survived by her brother- in- law Paul Evans, sister- in- law Jean Evans and nieces Nancie, Patti and Jackie.

Joan was a homemaker kept busy with the activities of four children. She found time to be active playing sports or cards. She was a ruthless bridge player, top notch badminton player, shuffle board player and lawn bowler and exceptional coach. The pandemic took away her joy of playing cards with her gang at the Thornhill Seniors Centre.

Our thanks to the staff at Greenview Lodge for the wonderful care she received during the last few months of her life.

There will be a Celebration of Life for our mother Joan at Kane-Jerrett Funeral Home, 8088 Yonge St. Thornhill, ON on Wednesday June 8th, 2022 from 2-4 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Toronto Humane Society in Joan's name. Her love for all animals was heartfelt and genuine.
