Joan Louise (Woolridge) Genge

1932-2019

Joan Louise (Woolridge) Genge
Joan Louise Genge passed away peacefully at Carleton-Kirk Lodge Nursing Home, Saint John NB on August 20, 2019 in her 87th year. Born in St. John’s, NL, she graduated as an award-winning student of Prince of Wales Collegiate. She was a gifted homemaker, ACW member and choir member and was active in many Anglican parishes throughout Newfoundland and New Brunswick with her husband and love of her life Rev. Canon David Genge. She loved her many pets through the years and enjoyed spending time gardening, baking and doing a wide variety of crafts. Her standard of perfection for everything she did was well-known.

She leaves to mourn her son Peter and grandson Michael, daughters Heather (David) Bertin and Joanne Genge, her sister Marjorie (Gordon) Morgan, brother Roy (Shirley) Woolridge as well as many other relations and friends. She was predeceased by her husband David, her sister Ruby, her brother Arthur, her daughter-in-law Ngaire, and her grandson David Edward.

Arrangements in the care of the St. George Funeral Home (755-3533) 26 Portage Street, St. George NB. Following cremation there will be visitation at Christ Church (Anglican), Pennfield, NB on Sunday, August 25, from 1-3 pm. A service to celebrate her life will be held immediately afterward at the church at 3 pm with Rev. Eileen Irish officiating followed by interment in the church cemetery.

The family would like to thank the staff of the Chateau de Champlain, particularly Joan’s Home Support Care, the staff of Carleton-Kirk Lodge, as well as the staff of the SJRH, particularly the ER and surgery departments. We would also like to thank friends and family whose kind gestures and support were deeply appreciated and certainly did not go unnoticed.

Family request that in Joan's memory, donations may be made to Christ Church (Anglican), Pennfield and The Carleton Kirk Lodge (Recreation Dept.).
