On March 6, 1923, Joan was born in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. She joined Bette as the second child to be born to Norman and Annie Lamb, followed shortly by siblings Tom, Mary, Jack and Frances. Joan attended school until age 14 at which time she entered the workforce. During the Second World War, she served in the British Air Force where she met Wyatt Clark, a Canadian Air Force man. Joan and Wyatt married and had two beautiful daughters, Carol and Linda. The Clark family moved from England to Winnipeg in 1951. In 1970, Joan married Russell McLeod. She worked at Zellers from 1953 to 1972 where she met her dear friend Dorothea. After retiring from Zellers, Joan worked in the cafeteria in Silver Heights High School until she and Russ moved to Oakbank. Joan loved to travel and continued to enjoy her yearly trips to visit her sister Mary and her family in Vancouver. She cherished her friendship with her childhood friend Winnie who she kept in faithful contact with despite the distance. A Celebration of Joan's Life will be held on Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in the Metropolitan Kiwanis Courts, 2300 Ness Ave., Winnipeg with the Salvation Army officiating. Thank you to the Kiwanis Court staff where Joan resided for the past eight years and a special thank you to the nurses and doctors on the 4th floor Unit 5 at Seven Oaks Hospital for their exceptional, compassionate care.
