Joan Wilton Obituary
Joan Wilton, beloved wife, mother, nana, nurse, and friend, passed away on June 30, 2025, surrounded by love. Born in New Zealand, she married John after attending Baptist College with him. In 1977, she left for a new life in Canada with John and daughters Deborah and Angela, bringing with her an easy laugh and a great pavlova recipe. She could talk to anyone, anywhere. A dedicated nurse and tireless volunteer, she served her church and community with empathy and warmth, and never tired of reading stories to her four grandchildren. Joan's vibrant spirit and big heart will be missed by all who knew her. Arohanui.
Heartfelt thanks to the incredible staff at the Waterview Unit at Gorge Road Hospital for their loving care.
Joan's funeral will be held on Friday July 4th at 10 a.m. at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC.

I work with Joan in the Heart Cath Lab at the Jubilee Hospital. I remember well her laugh and joy she brought when she came to work. I will also never forget the awesome picture of the Art Gallery and her daughter in her spectacular red wedding dress, I hope my memory hasn´t failed me! I am so sorry for your loss, I hope Joan´s last years were a day for her and her family.

John Wilton was our Pastor at Pakuranga Baptist Church in Auckland for quite some years. Joan was just the loveliest lady and both Deborah and Angela were born during their term at Pakuranga. Such a lovely family and many fond memories were shared. May the love of family and warm embrace of friends bring you comfort and strength.
Edna and the late Ron Graham, David, Jennifer and Wendy Graham.
