It is with great sadness that the family of Joan Zdyb (nee Timmons) announce her passing on May 11th, in her 86th year of life.

She was always surrounded by her loving family; her husband and life-long friend of 65 years, Walter Zdyb (“Wally”, as she tenderly called him!), daughters Chrystal (son-in-law Jim), Andrea (son-in-law Daniel) and son Christopher.

Joan was the proud grandmother of Kyle (Tiffany), Christina (Ryan) and Liano who all lovingly called her “Nanny”.

She is survived by brothers Joey (Cathy), Bill (Brenda-deceased) as well as sister Katie (Brendan) and her many nieces and nephews.

Joan will be reunited with her parents, Joseph and Chrystal Timmons, deceased sisters Bernice, Mary and Karen.

She was a devoted wife and mother who found joy in life’s simple pleasures and was known for her warm and happy smile, kind and gentle soul as well as her infamous “giggle”.

Joan will be sadly missed and remain forever in our hearts.

Funeral service will take place at Mount Royal Chapel on Wednesday June 22nd starting at 12:30 pm. A chapel service will follow at 1:30 pm.

The family wishes to thank everyone who has expressed their condolences.
