I would like to encourage for family & friends of Joanie (Nana) to write their stories or memories on her memorial site. I hope you find peace through her loving memory.

Nana was and always will be known as a spectacular woman who very much loved all people from all walks of life. She would never judge anyone. My nana has taught me to forgive all people.

She used to crack me up as when Nana lived down in Waimate with Hank on the farm, she would say to him that she was just popping into town to get some things from the supermarket and she would head straight for Timaru to play housie which she loved playing (pokies aswell). Nana would head back home late in the afternoon.

You are the bestest Nana.
