Joan Elaine Toews

I always respected Joan as my past manager and found her to be a warm and kind person. RIP Joan.

I started working for Joan in Sept 2009. After the interview at the recruitment agency, they asked how it went. I said, " I loved her, and I think she loved me!" After that I always enjoyed working with her and particularly enjoyed her company at Christmas parties. We were different in many ways, but the same in so many other ways. She was a lovely woman with a warm, natural heart. And I will miss her.

I met Joan through a mutual friend Joyce Singh, who had been friends with Joan for many years. I was a newcomer to this wonderful group of friends and was lovingly accepted because we all loved the Lord. I remember wonderful meals at Joan's home and the kindest she showed me. Rest in peace dear sister in Christ.

Your light is shining in heaven

I met Joan in 1987 through my sister Joyce. Since then she had been a friend and Aunty to my kids and family. I enjoyed all her stories and learn allot about the bible . Her kindness, love, smile and the twinkles in her eyes will always be remembered.

Joan was amazing friend, Ive known Joan over 35 years through young peoples at church and remains best of friends. I will never forget the Christmas gift she and Marlene put together, I was quite touched, Ill will miss the get together we have through out the year. Joan have an amazing laugh and lots of stories to tell. I am so thankful I got to see you went to be with the Lord. Joan you will be missed.

A privilege to have know Joan. She always had time for others no matter what was going on in her life. I will always be grateful to Joan for her selflessness. Thanks for the memories Joan till we meet again. God Bless.

My husband, Dave and I both worked with Joan at Shanahan's. I always enjoyed listening to her stories. Dave and I were also blessed to be invited to a few of Joan's dinner and a play evenings that she would put on near Christmas each year. What a wonderful cook!!! It was always a memorable evening.
