Joan Steeves (Milton), 86 went to be with her Lord and Saviour on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021 at The Moncton Hospital.  Born in Minto, NB she was the daughter of the late Delbert and Elsie (McCoubrey) Milton.

Joan moved as a young child to Edgetts Landing in 1942 where she attended school in the small Edgett’s Landing schoolhouse.  She and her family moved to Hillsborough in 1954.  She went to work at Eatons where she met many lifelong friends.  She met Bob, the love of her life and married him at the Hillsborough Baptist Church on August 6, 1960.  She was an active volunteer in the church where she was a Sunday School teacher, a Youth group leader and served on many committees throughout the years.  She was blessed with the gift of hospitality and made lots of delicious casseroles for the many pot luck suppers they attended at the church.  She became a stay at home mother to her three children.  She was very talented and sewed many home made outfits for all her children and baked many elaborate cakes for special occasions.

Joan and Bob both enjoyed bowling and bowled in many leagues throughout the years.  She had many bowling trophies which she was very proud of.  She was an avid yard sale lover and didn’t miss a Saturday with her friends.  She and Bob also enjoyed travelling to Florida in their retired years with their family and friends.  She was also able to take several trips with her daughters which they will always cherish.  She and Bob also enjoyed playing UNO with their good friends every Saturday night for many years.  In her last years, she and Bob moved into Riverview to Lakeview Towers.

She will be dearly missed by her loving husband of 60 years, Robert Archie Steeves, her cherished children Janice (Timothy) Worden, Dawn (Andrew) Breau and Timothy (Mary) Steeves; her seven grandchildren, Alex, Evan, Adam, Dylan, Dawson, Kyle and Mattea.  She will be greatly missed by her younger brother, Joseph Milton and was previously deceased by her older brother, Merrill Milton.

Joan was the best wife, mother and grandmother we would ever hope for.  Her absence will cause a great void in all of our hearts and she will be missed greatly by all who knew her.  The family wants to thank all the staff on 5100 for their exceptional care of our cherished wife, mother and grandmother, our "Joanie".

Due to the current Covid restrictions, the service will be limited to the immediate family only.  Burial will take place at the Grey’s Island Cemetery.  Her arrangements are entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (869-2007).  Online condolences may be expressed at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca
