It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, Joan Vivian Smith. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Jim Smith, and their son, Doug. Joan is survived by her sister, Jesse Pochay, of Kamloops, BC.
Joan was born August 11th, 1930, and spent her younger years in Vanderhoof, BC, where she met her husband, Jim. They were married on August 14th, 1948, and raised 6 boys, all of whom reside in Kamloops, BC. She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Don (Cogi), Derek (Lynda), Derwood (Laurie), Dwayne (Claudia), and Duncan. Joan will also be sadly missed by her 13 grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and many adopted family and friends.
The family would like to thank all of the staff at Ponderosa and Overlander for their care and compassion; you know who you are!
