It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joanne McRae on Nov. 27, 2015 at Ty Watson House surrounded by her loving family.

Predeceased by her husband Morris in 1996, she is survived by sister Arlone Kotcherofski as well as her children Deb (Greg), Norm (Brenda), Steve (Shelley), grandchildren Colby (Jodie), Corey (Jess), Shayleen (Zach), Megan, Ellisa (Murray), Justin (Amanda), Jason, Corey, Dustin, Thomas (Shannon), and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Joanne was an amazing lady who had the knack for making those around her feel very special and loved. She passed with the same grace as she lived her life. She will be sadly missed by many close friends Yvonne, Elsie, her special nephew Ron, her four-legged friend Hoover and many more.

Words cannot express our thanks for the loving care she received at Ty Watson House; you all played a significant role in Mom’s end of life journey. You are all truly amazing!

Please join us in a Celebration of Life to be held Saturday, December 5th from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Little Bavaria Centre, 3031 - 4th Ave. (parking in rear).

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ty Watson House.
