TRUMAN, Joan Rose Marie (nee Harrington) Truman - The beloved mother of her daughters Janice(John) and Sandra, celebrated grandmother to Michelle (Derrick), Elizabeth, and Siobhan and treasured “GG” to great-grandchildren Desmond and Ivory, passed away on 24 July 2024 in Lindsay, Ontario at the age of 83 years.
Born on 19 May 1941 to Willie and Nellie (Gaughan) Harrington of Udney, she completed the Harrington family dynasty as youngest sister “Joanie” of siblings Philomena (Phil), Theresa, Audrey, Frances (Sonny), and Jack. She
was cherished by husband Barry Truman for 48 years with Kirkfield as a second home near sister-in-law Anna-Marie (Jim), and Barry’s parents Isobel and Lewie Truman.
Despite challenges to support Barry’s and her own health, Joan continued to enjoy an active life over the years until additional help was needed and we thank the wonderful caregivers at Victoria Manor for their excellent care. Visits, cards, letters, and well-wishes from friends and family over the years always brightened her day and we are very grateful to everyone who sent these greetings.
There will be a Celebration of Life held at the Beaverton Curling Club, 164 Main Street, Beaverton on Saturday, August 31 2024 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. with time set aside at 3 p.m. to share stories and memories.
If desired, memorial donations to Parkinson Canada would be appreciated by the family.
