Joan Hopkins passed away on Friday, March 13, 2020, at Prairie Lake Hospice in Grande Prairie, at the age of 81 years.

Joan was born February 3, 1939 in Brantford, ON. She was the youngest of 15 children born to Raymond and Elsie Mann. In 1958, she married the love of her life, Roy Hopkins. In the years to follow, they had four children. In 1971, Joan and Roy packed up their family and moved west to Alberta. They settled in the Grande Prairie area where Joan became part of many community activities. Joan loved baking, quilting and playing bingo, but most of all, she loved her family. Spending time with her 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren was her greatest pleasure in life.

Joan will be sadly missed by her children: Randy (Donna), Linda (Everett) Bulford, Lee (Dee), and Darryl (Jane); grandchildren: Megan, Marcus, and Miranda Hopkins, Chris (Megan), Quinton Bulford, Angela (Steve) Rosin, and Tyler Bulford, Amanda (Frank) Krizay, and Ryan (Breanne) Hopkins, and Nicole (Ryon) Hemingson; great-grandchildren: Emerson and Royce Bulford, Tommy and Jack Rosin, Izabella and Malcolm Krizay, McKinley, Logan, and Lincoln Hopkins, and Kenedy and Pacen Hemingson; as well as many brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews.

A private family service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to 3D Children’s Society (7329 104 St., Grande Prairie, AB, T8W 2M7).
