LARSON, Joan (1920-2009) - With great sorrow, the family announces t h a t J o a n Tr u e m a n L a r s o n ( n e e Purdy) passed away quietly on December 28, 2009, in her 90th year. Joan is the widow of Eric Larson. She is pre-deceased by sisters Eleanor Purdy and Marion Martin and is survived by a brother (Dr. James Purdy), her sons Peter (Lorraine Farkas) and Douglas (Dawn Ewing), 5 grandchildren, two great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Although she always thought of Nova Scotia as her real home, she was a resident of Oakville for over 55 years. She was a long time member of the Oakville Club where she was active in badminton and tennis until she was nearly 80. She also participated actively in a n u m b e r o f O a k v i l l e c o m m u n i t y o rganizations including the IODE and the Lung Association, and was for many years a volunteer at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. In addition to being a terrific cook, she was an active bridge player and voracious r e a d e r. A f t e r s u f f e r i n g a s t r o k e i n October, her health declined rapidly. She never complained and was ver y appreciative of the kind and generous support she received from many family and friends. After a Boxing Day family reunion at her bedside, her last words were, "That was a wonder ful Christmas!" Her family would like to give special thanks for the attentive care provided by the staff at Churchill Place in Oakville. A memorial service will be held in late January.
