Joan Pouncy, of Kamloops, BC passed away peacefully on January 24, 2016. She spent her final weeks surrounded by the love of her family, friends, and the extraordinary staff and volunteers at the Kamloops Hospice House. Joan was born on October 3, 1938 in Lacombe, Alberta. She relocated to Armstrong, BC in 1944, where she attended school and participated in many sporting activities. It was there that she met and married Frank Pouncy on July 26, 1956. Soon after, her and Frank moved to Canoe/Salmon Arm to start their lives together. After the birth of their four children they moved to McKenzie, BC for a short time before settling permanently in Kamloops in 1968.
Joan’s career took her from retail to finding her passion as an Insurance Agent. She was very dedicated and knowledgeable and was highly thought of by co-workers and clients alike. Bowling was a big part of Joan’s life where she made many lasting friendships. Joan enjoyed golfing (hole in one) with friends and family including her Tuesday group. In recent years Joan thoroughly enjoyed her Thursday’s playing bridge and planning group outings with a very special group of ladies.
She also enjoyed ocean fishing at their place at Pender Harbour, water activities, attending Blazers games, traveling, reading and spending time with her family.
She will always be lovingly remembered by her children Patricia (Jim) Shippit, Harry (Susan) Pouncy, Fran (Lorne) Hamer-Jackson and Helen (Rick) Chatterley and her nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren, her sisters Greta, Shirley and Lorraine as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Joan was predeceased by her grandchildren Nicole Page and Colton John, her husband Frank Pouncy, her Mother Betty Proctor, Father Walter Proctor and Step Father Roy Joslin.
The family would like to thank the Kamloops Cancer Clinic staff and the amazing team at the Kamloops Hospice house for the care they showed Joan and the family during her stay.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Joan on Saturday January 30th at St. Andrews on the Square at 1:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, if you desire donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice House or the Canadian Cancer Society.
