Barbara Joan Ure was born March 14, 1941 to C. Raymond and Greta Ure in Winnipeg. She spent her formative years and schooling in Morden Manitoba followed by graduating from the Winnipeg General Hospital School of Nursing. Married John Allison to begin a family and moved to Myrtle, Manitoba. Joan quietly went about with her special talents to help others as a 4-H Leader Myrtle Merry Makers, and Tax specialist for many in the Carman and Winkler area.
Joan loved reading, the continual pursuit of knowledge, and completing crosswords and puzzles. She was ever the silent cheerleader of her family and grandchildren’s endeavors. Nary one to be in the spotlight but from which everything flourished from her touch… a private, gentle, and kind soul.
Love you forever Wife, Mom, Nana, Friend.
