My deepest condolences to Les, Adrian and Andrew at this time. I had the pleasure of being Administrative Assistant to Joan for a brief time back in the early 2000s when she was the Marine Superintendent for Coast Guard in Marine House. When I found out she was from Wesleyville, NL, I realized that we could be related as my Grandmother was a Mary Jane Kean from Wesleyville. Funny, smart, gracious & feisty when she needed to be, she will be missed by all who knew her. I was proud to have known and worked with her for only a year but it was by far one of the best times in my working career. She once told me a funny story of a day when she was out diving with a group of men. It’s not the right forum for telling it here but suffice it to say, I will always remember her punch line to the men. Being female in a fore mostly man’s world, Joan always knew the right thing to say. You truly were an Agent of Change.
I believe Joan is at a better gathering of those who know her & loved her now. Rest In Peace ❤️
Fair winds and following seas.
