HENDLE, Joan Marcella- it is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear Mom, and Grandmother, Joan Hendle in her 84th year, at the St.Catharines General Hospital on Saturday April 2, 2011. She was predeceased by her loving husband and our dad George Hendle (1995). Mom is survived by all of her children, Barry (Cathy), Neil (Karen), Brian (Tracey), Patricia, Myrle (Tim) and Maryan (Dean).

Joan is also survived by her sisters Jean Vance of Parry Sound and Barb Giovannetti of Woodstock. Predeceased by her sister Helen (2002) and brother Robert (1998). Our Mother was the most loving, caring and selfless person to all who knew her. Her whole life was about her family, always putting others first and herself last. She was deeply devotional, her faith never unwavering. We feel so blessed to have had such a beautiful mother and she is finally at rest. Mom you will be greatly missed by all of us and we love you.
