<div itemprop="description">Joan Manolopoulos - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joan, also known to many as Gam, who passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on Thursday March 10th at Northwood Nursing home in Halifax, NS. Born in Halifax NS, she was the daughter of the late Irene (Lovett) and Frederick Mielke. Of the many jobs she had, Joan was most proud of her career as a ward clerk at the Grace Maternity Hospital and later as a volunteer at the Nova Scotia Drug Dependency for a number of years. Family was the most important thing to Joan with a close second being her love of a delicious dessert! She was happiest when spending time with her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be forever missed by our family as she was such a big part of our lives. Joan is survived by her only daughter Rebecca (Gary) Cookson, grandchildren, Stacey Cullen and Katie (Darren) Sutherland, and great-grandchildren, Landon, Peyton, Reese, Cooper and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her late husband John, sisters, Carol Irmhoff and Marion McGoldrick, brother, Donald Mielke, and nephew Donald Mielke. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday March 16th at 2 pm at Saint Ignatius Catholic Church 1288 Bedford Hwy, Bedford NS; Father John DeCoste will be officiating. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimer&rsquo;s Association of Nova Scotia or charity of your choice. A special thank you to all the amazing staff at Northwood Nursing Home floor 7C who helped make &ldquo;Joanie&rsquo;s&rdquo; final years of life very comfortable while also showing her so much love and care.</div>
