Joanne BEDGGOOD Obituary
Passed away peacefully March 6, 2016. Born in Vancouver on October 29, 1924. Joanne attended Renfrew Elementary and Grandview Commerce. Predeceased by parents Agnes and John Wood; husband Don Bedggood, 1995; brothers Tom and George; and sisters Mary, Minnie and Jackie. Joanne and Don had their accounting practice at 47th and Fraser. They kept in touch with many clients who became lifelong friends. Joanne loved to travel and made yearly visits to family in Scotland, to her condo in Palm Springs, and took annual trips to Hornby Island. Joanne was a proud member of the Business Women's Association. Joanne enjoyed entertaining, baking, knitting, theatre, decorating, renovating, travelling and dogs, often reminiscing about her family dog "Mike" – he was a legend in the Wood family. Joanne is survived by her loving nieces and nephews. Rest in Peace, Aunt Jo.
