Trimble, Joan Rachel


Joanie passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 7, 2006 at Royal Inland Hospital.


She will be lovingly remembered by her sisters, Sherry (Vern) Tourand, Jean (Ken) Kemash, and Donna Trimble; her brothers Bob Trimble and Tonie Trimble; nieces Terry and Katrina; and nephews Greg, Michael, and Jason. Also mourning her loss is her extended family John and Donna Vanderraad, Melissa, Stephen and Levi.


Predeceased by her father Jim Trimble in 1980, brother Pat in 1981, and mother Dolly Trimble in 1988.


Joanie was born in Quesnel on December 7, 1949 and lived at home with her mother, father and siblings. She took pleasure in many things including knitting, hooking rugs, and singing her favourite song, “You Are My Sunshine.” The times Joanie enjoyed most were when all of the family gathered together.


Goodbye, Sunshine


Joan’s family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to John & Donna for the love and care that they gave our beloved sister for the past year.


A special thank you to Doctor Stefanyk and the nurses on 3 West at Royal Inland Hospital for their care and compassion during Joan’s stay there.


A Memorial Tea to remember and celebrate Joanie’s life will be held at 12:00 pm on Saturday, March 11, 2006 in the Kamloops Funeral Home.
