JOAN HUDSON

HUDSON, JOAN (nee JOHNSON) Passed peacefully at Allendale in Milton, Wednesday, August 1, 2018, in her 97th year. Beloved wife of the late Don Hudson (deceased 1963), Joan Elizabeth Hudson is survived by her devoted and loving daughter, Heather Macintosh (Peter Bromley) of Milton, enjoyed the deep admiration of her grandchildren, Matt (Jenn) and Mike (Jen) Macintosh and treasured her great-grandchildren, Anglin and Juna (all residing in BC). Matt, Jenn, Anglin, Juna and their dog were vacationing in Milton and were near Joan at the time of her passing, reflecting her impeccable sense of timing. Joan is lovingly remembered by her nieces Marilyn (Pat), Gurnee (Simon), Cathie (Bill) and Pippa (Jeff) and nephews Shane (Melanie), James and Peter (Kendra). She is predeceased by her brother, Geoff Hobbes and sisters-in-law Babs and Mitzi. Joan's passions were her family, her roots in Ireland, her family cottage on Lake Couchiching and her church. She was a committed volunteer and skilled knitter, seamstress and hostess. A model of dignity, warmth and refinement. Joan's loss of vision over the past 4 years did nothing to change her sunny disposition, smile, or sense of style - the best dressed 96 year old around! Her selflessness and kindness touched all those who knew her. A Celebration of Joan's Life will be held at a later date at St. John's York Mills Church in Toronto. Donations to the Milton Hospital Auxiliary or The Seeing Eye (dog guides) would be appreciated. Letters of Condolences, shared stories and memorial donations may be left for the family online at www.mckersie-kocher.ca
