Joanne touched the lives of many with her profound sense of humor, warmth, creativity, curiosity, outgoing nature and gave the best hugs. Joanne was a generous friend and possessed an uncanny ability to connect to just about anyone. She had a rare gift of building community and new friends wherever she found herself. She greeted everyone she encountered with the biggest smile.

Joanne moved to Lethbridge in December 2014 along with her sister Lana, to live in their new home with supports from Quest Support Services. Here, both girls social lives thrived and found many new friends, genuine connections and fun new experiences.
