Obituary for Joan Elliott (Cooper)
ELLIOTT, Joan –
With Sadness & in Loving Memory: Joan Elliott (born Joan Florence Marie Cooper) passed away peacefully early in the morning of Thursday, January 14, 2021 at the Chateau Gardens Nursing Home in Niagara-on-the-Lake, at 91 years of age. Married for more than 60 years to John W. Elliott, who she lost in March 2011, she is survived by her children Digby, David & Jennifer, 11 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. A country girl at heart, she died a short distance from the farm at the corner of Concession #2 & the East/West Line where she was born & raised. As wife & mother, following John’s various job transfers within the bank, from 1950-1970, she moved the family on six separate occasions throughout Ontario, managing to instill a sense of love and stability in each new home. While raising her family, Joan was also a pioneer in early childhood education working as a teacher, administrator & eventually a regional supervisor. In retirement, she was happiest in her garden. For those who were lucky enough to know her, she will be remembered for her beauty, determination, intelligence & lively wit. A memorial service will be held at a time when we can gather without the COVID-19 restrictions. The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the nurses & staff at Chateau Gardens.
