Joan Robinson of Great Harwood, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on Saturday 1st April 2023, aged 90 years.
From a young age Joan mastered the art of dress making and would make clothes for all of her children, including making her daughter’s wedding dresses.

In her spare time and during her retirement Joan was a volunteer for many years working in the Great Harwood shop for International Aid. She also liked watching her soaps on TV, but most of all Joan loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
A dearly loved and devoted mother to Ian, Elaine, Terry, Annette, Bernadette, Colin and the late Peter, a dear mother in law to Beverley, Alwyn, Kenneth, Miles and Leana, a treasured nana of 17 grandchildren and also a loving great nana to many.
