Obituary of Joanne Marie Taylor

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joanne Marie Taylor, surrounded by her loving family, which occurred on Thursday, October 28^th, 2021, at her home. Born in Tracadie, N.B., she was the daughter of the late Elie and Annie (nee Basque) Kelly.

Joanne was a beautiful soul who loved her daughters, grandchildren, her last love Wade with all her heart, siblings, and her fur babies. Joanne was an awesome baker who enjoyed giving treats to everyone. She was an avid bingo player who had to always get her cards early. Joanne will be dearly missed by her siblings, who are her best friends. She truly cherished all her friends and family with every inch of her heart.

Joanne is survived by her partner Wade Bradbin; daughters Margaret Taylor (John) of Saint John, and Jennifer Frank (Brian) of Alberta; sisters Diane Gavin and Kathy St. Coeur (Ovila); brothers Eugene Kelly (Norma) and Wilfred Kelly; grandchildren Austin (Karissa), Anthony and Patricia; one great-grand baby who is on the way; her fur babies Nelly and Precious, Aunts and Uncles, and several nieces and nephews. Joanne will also be missed by her two dear bingo friends Betty “BooBoo” and Jerry.

Joanne was predeceased by her parents Elie and Annie Kelly, her common-law spouse Alfred Boudreau, and her daughter Sherry who she is now reunited with.

The family would like to extend a sincere thanks to the staff with the Extra Mural Program, and any family and friends who provided support and care for Joanne.
