Joan Patrick-Philp Obituary
PATRICK-PHILP, JOAN T. 1939-2014: Tragically on November 30th, Joan was struck and killed by a vehicle in Florida while visiting her sons. Survived by her loving husband, Richard Philp; her cherished family members, sons David Patrick, Robert Patrick and wife Sally Patrick (Moore); grandsons Douglas and Daniel Patrick; niece Cheryl Van Waterschoot (Rhoads) and husband Rick Van Waterschoot, their children Margaret and Matthew Van Waterschoot; nephew Rick Rhoads and wife Barbara Rhoads (Malarz) and their daughter Lauren Rhoads. She will also be greatly missed as well by her second family. Erica (Philp) and Jon Gatten, Bruce Philp and Linda, Liz (Philp) Short and Tony, and Brendan Philp. After coming to Canada in 1951 with her now deceased mother and father, Joan and Archie Whiteford, and sister Margaret Rhoads (Whiteford) to the Windsor area, she moved to London where for 28 years, Joan managed the Canadian Bible Society bookstore. In recent years she has been a dedicated volunteer at the Chelsey Park Nursing Home. Joan touched the lives of many with her kindness, compassion, love and selfless nature. Joan also leaves behind many extended family members, friends and acquaintances and she will be dearly missed by all. If there be angels, she is with them. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart & Stroke Foundation in her memory. A memorial service is still to be arranged.
