Wilm, Joan

Joan Wilm (nee: Morley) passed away peacefully on March 16, 2022, at the age of 98 while in the care of the wonderful Regency Manor staff in Central Butte, SK. Joan was predeceased by her husband Walter Wilm, parents George and Annie Morley and sisters Nancy Farwell, Mary Watkinson, and Elsie Brown. Joan will be lovingly remembered by her three children and seven grandchildren: Lynne Feeney and her children Steve (Tracy) Feeney and Treana Feeney (Mike Stumpf); Lorne (Joanne) Wilm and their children Dallas (Shanlee) Wilm, Clarke (Andrea) Wilm and Lee (Sarah) Wilm; and Donna (Devone) Miner and their children Ryan (Tricia) Miner and Tanya Miner; as well as her 20 great-grandchildren: Garrett, Conner, Sydney, Nicholas, Ashten, Hayden, Hunter, Tristyn, Broden, Ryder, Logan, Easton, Wyatt, Cody, Kasper, Jesse, Preston, Harleigh, Bryce and Livia. Joan was born on October 29th, 1923, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. At the age of 3, the family immigrated to Canada and settled in the Thunder Creek region southwest of Central Butte. Joan married Walter Wilm on August 1, 1943 and raised their three children on Walter’s family farm south of Central Butte until moving into town in 1965. Joan worked hard both on the farm and in many local businesses in town including the grocery store, restaurant, and bakery. She also tried her hand at many crafty and creative ventures including ceramics, which she also taught for many years out of her basement, furniture restoration and many types of needlework. Joan loved spending time with her grandchildren, whether it was watching their sports or taking them on camping trips in her motorhome; she also loved helping with her great-grandchildren. Joan especially loved watching hockey at the local rink where her favorite seat was generally reserved just for her. A private family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Joan to Central Butte Regency Hospital Auxiliary, Box 98, Central Butte, SK, S0H 0T0. In living memory of Joan, a memorial planting will be made by W.J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.jonesparkview.com (Obituaries).
