BREWER, Joan July 14, 1923 - December 28, 2013 Sergeant in the ATS during WWII It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the death of Joan Brewer at St. Joseph's Hospital on Saturday, December 28, 2013 from complications of Lymphoma and C Difficile. She passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family and in the arms of her daughters. Predeceased by husband Denis Brewer (1984), loving Mum to Janet Poole, the late Clive Brewer (2000) and Denise Brewer Leonardo. Adored Nana to Lesley, (Daniel), Mark, Steven, Sarah, Colleen and her precious angel Heather (2012). Will be missed by family in England and her former son-in-law Brian Poole and his wife Cathy. Joan served in the British Army during WWII as Sergeant in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. She was a well respected manager at OHIP for 18 years. Those that knew her will miss her wit, dry sense of humour and her insatiable thirst for knowledge.

Janet and Denise and families
Thinking of your mom; memories going back to our childhood and teen years. Your mom was a second mother to me; so willing to listen, and to give advice, if asked. Joan was always an elegant, strong woman, through the good times, and through adversity. May you find strength in all of the wonderful memories she has left you with. Love Marg (Toronto, ON)
