It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joan Pollex at the age of 86. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family. She leaves behind her loving husband Gerry Pollex as well as her daughters Linda (Jeff Van Allen), Judy (Jeff Beatty) and son Steve (Sunni). She was the cherished grandmother of Jason, Kara, Jenna, Dana and Samantha. Joan is survived by her brothers Rene (late Marg), George (Ginette), Richard, (late Mary) and Phil (Sonya). She was predeceased by her parents and brothers Ed and Bernie as well as sisters Gloria Levere, Vera Smith and Audrey Strong.
Joan will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and nephews.
Joan was a long time employee of EMCO Limited and retired in 1999. In her retirement Joan enjoyed spending time with family and friends, visiting the cottage and going to the Casino.
