JOAN HEGGIE
Peacefully, on Tuesday, April 23,
2013, surrounded by her loving family, Joan succumbed to her illness with
courage and dignity and passed away at the age of 86 years.
Remaining to forever cherish Joan’s
memory are her two daughters, Lois (Harold) Demetzer of Thunder Bay, ON and Janis
(Philip) Nemeth of Surrey, BC; loving son, John (Colleen) of Winnipeg; five
grandchildren, Thomas and Robert Demetzer, Andrew and Megan Nemeth and Madison
Heggie. She was predeceased by husband
Hugh after 56 years of marriage in June 2005; and sister, Grace Robertson in
2000.
Joan was born on Bowman Avenue,
Winnipeg, daughter of Margaret and John Elder.
She was the younger of two daughters.
When she met Hugh they would take the train to Grand Beach to enjoy the
water, sand and boardwalk, but most of all the highlight of the evening would
be the Grand Beach Dance where they would dance the night away. When Joan and Hugh’s family arrived they
decided to build the cottage at Star Lake for their family to enjoy for many
years to come. Joan enjoyed attending
Church and singing in the choir every Sunday; her voice was angelic. She loved classical music, which was apparent
when she would play the piano. Joan
loved animals, especially dogs which she had many in her lifetime; Brownie,
Tinker, Sabre, Sindy, Suzie, Whiskey, Callie and left behind her beloved
Jessie. Everyone who met Joan loved
her. She was the kindest, sweetest lady
you would every meet.
A private family service will be
held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made in Joan’s name to the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter, 3062 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3K 0Y1.

In Our Hearts
We thought of
you with love today,
But that is
nothing new.
We thought about
you yesterday,
And days before
that too.
We think of you
in silence.
We often speak
your name
Now all we have
are memories
And your picture
in a frame.
Your memory is
our keepsake
With which we’ll
never part
God has you in
His keeping.
We have you in
our heart.
“Mom, Nanny, we
love you and miss you dearly.
You will always
be in our heart.”
