Obituary of Joan Hall

Hall Joan (nee Dempster) - It is with broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our loving mother (Mary) Joan Katherine Hall on Friday July 26, 2024 at the Greater Niagara General Hospital.

She is predeceased by her parents John and Eva Dempster, sister June Boles and son Michael.  Beloved wife of Donald for 67 years. Adoring mother of Danny Hall, Dawne Hall Gangarossa (Tony) and Steven Hall (Stephanie). Cherished grandmother of Tyler, Jordy, Lauren, Connor, Chris and Brendan. Proud great grandmother of Isabella, Everly and Ethan. She will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Joan was loved and adored by all that knew her. She cherished everyone and often reminisced about all the good times in Meum’s Garage with the Douglas and Finley Crescent neighbourhood kids. She was a lifelong avid sports fan where she was the fast ball pitcher for the Stevensville Stevettes, the travel baseball team in the early 70's. She was also a dedicated Toronto Maple Leaf and Blue Jay fan where she and our father spent many days and nights following them. She was the biggest cheerleader and fan of her 6 grandchildren where she always attended many of their sporting events. Joan was known as the fun mom as no party was complete unless her or sister June attended. A special thank you to all the amazing staff at Gilmore Lodge especially Tania and Ali for the care, love and compassion during these last months. She truly appreciated all of you.

Friends are invited to join the family at Benner Funeral Home, 1105 Benner Avenue, Fort Erie, visiting Tuesday July 30th from 6-8pm, and Wednesday July 31st from 10am-12pm with a Funeral Service to follow. A Rite of Committal will be held at Greenwood Cemetery following the Service. In lieu of flowers, donations made to Gilmore Lodge Auxiliary Fund would be appreciated by her family.
