Obituary of Jo-Anne Joyce SIMPSON

1943 – 2019 It is with a huge sense of loss we share the passing of Jo-Anne at the Sarcee Hospice in Calgary on February 7, 2019 at the age of 75 years. Jo-Anne enjoyed and lived life to the fullest in her own way. She loved to walk, read and the changing seasons. Jo-Anne is survived by her husband of 50 years Glen; daughter Susan (Lonnie); son Rick (Kelly); her sister Janice Suderman; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; several cousins, nieces and nephews ; and her beloved Yorkies, Daisy and Duchess. Jo-Anne expressly did not wish any kind of service but rather that you celebrate your relationship with her, in your own way and with your own memories. This is a favourite of Jo-Anne’s; Don’t stand by my grave and weep for I am not there. I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow. I’m the diamond’s glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. Don’t stand by my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die. – A Native American Poem Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
