Tribute
Joanna Mary Weston, nee Jarmain, poet and author.

Joanna came to Canada 1956-58 and returned to live here February 15, 1960, and became a Canadian citizen on February 15, 1965 (Flag Day).
She married Robert May 20, 1967 in Montreal during the Expo. She is survived by Robert as well as her 3 sons Andrew (Julie), Jon (Sherri), Mark (Cathy) and 3 grandchildren, EJ, Kennedy and Luke.
She moved from Vancouver to a farm in Cowichan Station and then to Shawnigan Lake in 1991. She died peacefully at home in her husbands arms. She found so much love at Sylvan United Church and St. John’s Church in Cobble Hill.

Dear Robert, Andrew, Jon and Mark. I am sorry to hear of Joann’as passing. Such a luminous person, so alive to all around her. So encouraging to all of us.
From: Martin Buck
Relation: Friend and brother in Christ
Irene and I went by the St John’s cemetery to pay our respects to the many faithful departed and learned she left this world last summer.
We are so sorry for your loss, Robert and sons.
She was a force for great good.
I was just talking to the Rev George Rogers in England and he was asking after you both. I will pass on the sad news when next he and I chat. We, the Westons, the Holmes and the Cowlards with George’s blessing and direction did a great ministry at St. John’s and St. Andrew’s those many decades ago. I still remember and benefit from those Lay School of Theology courses we took together from the University of the South.
Love and blessings to the Weston family.
Martin and Irene
