Joan Betty Wilkinson
June 6, 1946 – July 9, 2025

After a lifetime of love, it is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Joan Betty Wilkinson at 79 years of age. Joan left her loving husband of 61 years, Lorne Dale Wilkinson, with whom she shared a lifetime of adventures and travels, including 15 years abroad.

Joan was deeply loved by her daughters: Roxanne (Vaughn), Pennylynn (Kenneth), Robin (predeceased); grandchildren: Landi, Brandon (Elizabeth), Bailey, Lorne; great-grandchildren: Rory, Hunter and River.

Joan was the first to plan crazy “sister trips” with her sister(s) / daughters leading to many giggles and irreplaceable memories.

For the past 10 years, Joan and Dale have been snowbirds where they have made a special family in Lake Tamerask, California, where Joan enjoyed golfing and deck visits that often lead to plans of adventures and mischief.

Joan left all that she touched and loved with a knowledge that they were cherished and that will surround them in this time of grief.
