JOANNE
BARBARA FORTIN
(nee
BJORKLUND)
It is with profound sadness that we
announce the sudden passing of our beloved Joanne on Tuesday, September 16,
2014 at the age of 75 years, with family at her side.
Left to remember Joanne are her loving
husband Wilfred; children Calvin (Frances), George (Ange), Tannis (Phil), Diane
(Les) and Donna (Gary); step-children
Margaret
(Les), Bertha (Keith), Nancy (Mark), Patricia, Rhonda (Brian) and Rhonda
Fortin; grandchildren Chris (Jen), William, Spencer, Jaymesen, Caitlin, Sally, Chase,
Toni (Ben), Kendall, Robin, Leslie, Mike, Brittany, Randy, George, John Thomas,
Wesley, Brianna, Chantel, Dylan, Scott and Michael; three great-children;
numerous nieces; nephews; cousins; as well as by sister Robina who will miss
her deeply as they were so close to each other. She was predeceased by her
parents; brothers; and two sisters.
Mom was born on October 3, 1938 and lived
an adventuresome filled life, taking her from Churchill, her birth place, to
places all over Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan with work. She reunited with
her first love Wilfred in 1997; they had been sweethearts in Churchill when
they were 15 years old but fate took them apart and it was fate that they met
up again. For the past 17 years they had been living like two
"teenagers" in love and Wilfred is feeling the loss of his sweetheart
deeply.
In compliance with Joanne’s wishes no
formal Funeral Service will be held.
Thank you to the doctors and nurses on
GB3 wing at the Health Sciences Centre who tried so valiantly to stabilize Mom.
Your respect and dignity shown towards Mom in her final hours should be
commended. Thank you for the support during that difficult situation, it is
greatly appreciated.
