JOAN YVONNE ROE (nee PEELAR)

February 23, 2024

Joan Yvonne Roe (nee Peelar) of Huron-Kinloss, died peacefully, surrounded by her family, at the Kincardine Hospital, Friday, Feb. 23, 2024 at the age of 80. Born July 28, 1943, in Weston, Ontario, she was the daughter of the late Audrey (nee Coombs) and John Peelar. Beloved wife of Ernest for 54 years. Dear mother of Gary; and proud Grammie of Morgan and Clayton. Also survived by her son-in-law, Rob; and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents, and her precious sons, Wayne, Kevin, and Steve. Joanie, as she was often referred to, was a bus driver for Travelways in Kincardine for many years. There were several sports teams that she drove for during the playoffs, and she drove for special events such as the plowing match. Shortly after they married, Joan and Ernie moved to Huron-Kinloss where they have resided for more than 30 years. Joan’s greatest pleasure was entertaining and serving a meal. If company was coming, there was always a big potato and carrot salad made. She loved flowers and was an avid plant-lover. She will be remembered and missed by many friends and neighbours in the community she called home. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Huntington Society of Canada; arrangements entrusted to the MacKenzie and McCreath Funeral Home, Ripley.
