Dear Jim Nolan Paisley. Our sincerest condolences to you. We knew Joanne for a short time but right away knew she was a dedicated wife mother and daughter. She should be honoured for that and for her many years of dedicated service as a nurse. For me (Lisa) personally my heartaches of this sad sudden situation you all had to go through. I am saddened that Joanne was unable to meet The newest addition to the Marriott family, Madelyn. We will make sure to honour Joanne’s memory by keeping her alive when we talk about her to Madelyn. Madelyn will grow up knowing about her grandmother Joanne. May you receive strength in the wonderful memories you had with Joanne and feel comfort she is with us everyday. Love Lisa Jeff and Bella

So very saddened to learn Joanne has passed away. I worked with her for many years in CCU at Sarnia General Hospital. She was known for her dedication and compassion to her patients, her reassuring presence a solace to many. She will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
I had the privilege of working at Bluewater Health with Jo-Anne for many years. She was so dedicated to her patients who always received exemplary care from her.
I am so sad to hear of her untimely passing. She would have enjoyed retirement and especially being a grandma to Madelyn. Gone too soon.
My sincerest condolences to Jim, Nolan, her dog Max and family!
Jo-Anne was was always so thoughtful and caring.
Brian,Jim and family. My sincere condolences on the passing of Joanne. I hope treasured memories will see you through. Sorry for your two great losses. They are holding each other in heaven.
I was saddened to see Joanne had passed. She probably never knew how she influenced my life. As a quiet, shy 12 yr old when I went to 4-H she was an older member who made me feel welcome which lead to lifelong friends and lessons learned through many years as a member and leader for myself and my family. Years later when my mother had surgery and was quite anxious, Joanne’s calming presence as her nurse gave her comfort as she cared for her. She was a wonderful person
