Obituary of Joan Martha Munn
It is with profound sadness that the family of Joan Martha Munn (nee Woodcock) announce her peaceful passing on Monday, December 11, 2023, in her home with her family by her side. Born in McGivney, N.B. on September 2, 1940, to the late Robert and Annabelle Woodcock.

Besides her parents, Joan was predeceased by her husband Berton Wilson “Willie” Munn, sister Nettie Moran, and brother Arthur Woodcock.
Joan had the opportunity to live in many locations during her life, but decided to settle in the community of Nerepis where she has lived for the last 42 years.
