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.

Dear Linda, Steve, Judy and families.
Please accept our sincere condolences for the recent passing of your mom. She was an amazing human being and will be missed by so many. We were fortunate enough to spend time with her last summer when she was visiting Roberta and Jim in PEI. She always had a smile on her face and had such a positive approach to life.
Take care of one another during this difficult time and know our thoughts are with you.

Dear Linda, Judy, Steve and families. Our deepest condolences at this difficult time. She was a loving, dedicated and charismatic mother and for us a wonderful, larger than life Aunt. I will miss our afternoon "phone chats", rehashing why the Senators lost again. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and of course Uncle Gerry.
