JOAN WEST Obituary

Joan West Born in London, England, July 20, 1921, Joan Amy Kathleen West passed away on February 27, 2011 with her husband and Omate' Roy by her side. Married on August 5, 1944, Joan and Roy immigrated to the United States in 1948 and eventually settled in Tacoma where they raised sons John (Chris) and David (Lyndsey). While Joan was deeply proud of becoming a United States citizen (and earning her driver's license) she never lost her English accent or her love of fish On chips. To all who knew her, Joan will be remembered for her devotion to her husband, children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will also be remembered for her OEnglish' garden and knitted gifts. Our memories of Joan will live forever. A service in Joan's honor will be held, Friday, March 4, 2011 at the New Tacoma Cemetery, Evergreen Chapel at 3 p.m. Donations: the Susan G. Komen Foundation

My deep sympathy goes to Roy and all of the West family at this difficult time. I always enjoyed finding Joan at a family function. She had the most wonderful giggle and we always enjoyed our conversations. May you all find peace in knowing she is home.
