About
Grindal, Joanne
Joanne Grindal
After a year of battling brain tumours Joanne Grindal passed
away on February 9, 2010, age 42, at her home in Killara with
her family. Born November 11, 1967 in Montreal, Joanne is
survived by Iain her husband for 18 years and their two boys
Tyler (13) and Connor (11). In Montreal are Joanne's parents
Christine and Frank Salvaggio, her younger sister Karen
(married to Amid), her two nieces Sabrine and Leena and her
Grandma-mere Sophie.
Joanne's dearest achievements were at home and the
community. For the boys she instilled values of citizenship,
responsibility, determination, toleration and the value of
education. Outside of the home she was immersed in their
school, their sports and the local church.
Joanne was a soulmate to her husband Iain. Married in
Montreal on May 11, 1991. Travelled for a year, lived in
London for most of the 1990 s and moved to Sydney in 2000.
They forged a life together, built on their own efforts,
determination and fortitude to succeed. Their greatest success
being Tyler & Connor.
Her values of giving and love is why she will be greatly missed,
not only by Iain, Tyler and Connor, her family in Montreal, but
by all the people she has touched in her short time here on
Earth.
