ALLARD, Joan Marie (nee GRIFFIN) - August 24, 1944 - February 19, 2019
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Mom, Joan.
She passed quietly at North York General Hospital, after facing breast cancer for a third and heartbreakingly difficult time.
From Toronto, daughter of Gladys (nee Smith) and Orville Griffin (predeceased), Joan was a loving Mom to son Gordon and daughter Megan, and an attentive and generous Grandma to Mark, Kaitlyn, Ryan and Colin.
Sister to Barry Griffin, she was also a 'Kissing' Cousin to countless, and very special Auntie to Kim and many others.
Joan's primary focus was her family, and as an animal lover she rescued and adopted many lucky pets over the years. Her attention to detail was second to none.
We extend our gratitude to the staff of North York General Hospital who cared for Mom with compassion and understanding throughout her stay. We are so grateful that she is no longer feeling any pain and truly hope she has sought out and is being serenaded by The King himself.
In lieu of a service or flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in Joan's name so that one day others may not have to face or fight this disease.
