At the North Bay Regional Health Center on Thursday, June 27, 2024, at age 91. Joan was the beloved wife of the late Evan Blythe Costello. Loving mother of Dan (Lori) of Powassan, Kerry Caruso (Carmen) of North Bay, Tim (Valerie) of Callander and Sandra Robinson (Mel) of North Bay. Sadly missed by grandchildren Christopher, Kimberley (Zach) and Colleen Caruso, Jamie (Brendan) and Michael (Ashley) Costello, Abbie and Jeff Robinson and by her great-grandchildren Stella, Giovanni, Gunner, Rhodes, Mateo, Rowan and Logan. Predeceased by her parents George Butler and Janet (nee Robertson), her sister Ellen Butler, and her brothers and their spouses, Bill (Gladys) and Lloyd (Maureen). Survived by siblings Bob Butler (Marg), Jean Butler, Janet Butler, and sister-in-law Wendy (Danny) Kane.
At Joan's request, there will be a family gathering at the gravesite at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the North Bay Regional Health Center would be appreciated. The nursing staff on D3 were first-class. We would also like to express our gratitude to the staff of The Barclay House, who go above and beyond to ensure our family members are happy and healthy.
