She of Stittsville, Ontario, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2026, with loved ones at her side. She died at the Ottawa Civic Hospital following a brief illness.

Joanne was born on January 28, 1944, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Wynn and Lorne Penman. In 1959, she moved to Oakville with her family and went on to pursue a Nursing degree at Queen’s University. While at Queen’s, she met her future husband, Robert Poole. They were married in 1965 and moved to Mississauga, where Joanne worked as a pharmacy technician and a medical office administrator.

Joanne Lynn Poole is survived by her adoring family, including her husband Bob, daughters Tanya (Thomas) and Cindy (Marty), grandchildren Jessica (Adam) and Haden (Rachael), and great-granddaughter Callie. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Gerry (Anita), whom she idolized.

Joanne was known for her ready smile, her infectious laugh, and her sweet disposition. She provided immense support and encouragement to her family and friends. She loved being part of every community in which she lived, volunteering in many capacities including as commissioner of Girl Guides of Mississauga, fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, and Ladies’ Captain of the Dunany Country Club. J

Joanne enjoyed many hobbies including golf, tennis, walking, gardening, reading, quilting and crocheting. She loved to play bridge, 500, euchre and cribbage with family and friends. Above all, her favourite thing to do was spend time with family, whether it be celebrating Christmas at home or enjoying summer at the cottage in Dunany, Quebec.

Her family will miss her positivity, her cooking and baking, and her Donald Duck impersonation.
