It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joan Marlene Johnson (nee Slamp) of Kamloops, BC, on March 11th, 2021, at 79 years of age. Joan is survived by her children Casey (Cheryl) Johnson of Winnipeg, MB, Bonny (Cam) Thomson of Lusaka, Zambia, Sheila (Joe) Zaik of Spruce Grove, AB, Laura (Jeff) Gorham of Surrey, BC, Cameron (Dana) Johnson of Kamloops, BC, Nicole (Kevin) Cundari of Kamloops, BC, and Rebecca (Jeff) Turner of Kamloops, BC. Also left to cherish Joan’s memory are her grandchildren Clinton (Emily) Zaik, Jordan (Paige) Zaik, Matthew (Christen) Zaik, Brooke (Colby) Sanelli, Jorja Gorham, Sophia Cundari, Ava Cundari and Jackson Turner, as well as great-grandchild Piper Zaik, Joan’s brother Kenny (Lynn) Slamp, sister Marilyn (Bruce) Bannerman, and brother Rick Slamp. Joan was predeceased by her parents Albert and Anne Slamp, husband Harold Johnson, and baby brother Mark Slamp.

Joan was a loving and generous person who gave tirelessly to her family and community. She was a strong and beautiful woman who always encouraged others. She loved the Bible and was proud to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Joan actively shared Bible truths with others about Jehovah God and his Kingdom as the solution to mankind’s problems, including sickness and death. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and congregation, but we are comforted by the Bible’s promise of a resurrection to perfect life, and health on a paradise earth. (Revelation 21:4), (Isaiah 25:8).

A Zoom Memorial Service for Joan will take place at 1:00pm PST on Friday, April 2nd, 2021. If you wish to attend the Zoom memorial, please email bthomson0001@yahoo.com to request zoom codes.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Dr. Amanda Bosman, the staff of the Royal Inland Hospital, Home Support Nurses, and the staff at Marjorie Willougby Hospice Association for their dedicated service and heartfelt care.
