Joan is predeceased by her first husband Roy Beale (1971) and her second husband Harry Beale (2013). Loving mother to Susan (Terry) King, Gerri (Jim) Gregory, Chris Halliday (Doug Mclellan), Rick (Lori) Beale and loving stepmom to Gerald Beale, Carolyn (Jan) Verbruggen and John Beale.

Joan was born in Cochrane, Ontario on May 9, 1934. She was the 3rd child of Robert and Gladys (Palmer) Somerville. Sister of Betty Stephenson and Evelyn Tokarchuk (Dan Quinn). Predeceased by her 2 brothers – Charles and Ken. Joan loved vacations to Clearwater, Florida, country and western songs as well as old standards. She sang and hummed ALL THE TIME.
