Joan Rita Chilcott

Joan Rita Chilcott (nee Bradley) passed away Saturday, March 1, 2025 in her 105th year. Beloved wife of the late James J. Chilcott. Loving mother of Lynn Chilcott (Robert Lloyd-Rees) and Brad (the late Cheryl) Chilcott. Proud grandmother of Sarah Chilcott (Joel Pang) and great-grandmother of Conor and Devon. Joan was GG (Glamour Gran) to her two U.K. step grand-daughters, Vicki Lloyd-Rees and Jo Lloyd-Rees and great-grandson Toby. 

She will be fondly remembered by her sister-in-law Jean Chilcott and nieces and nephews. 

Joan lived a full life, lawn bowling and carpet bowling with friends at the Highland Park Lawn Bowling Club in Westboro into her mid 90s, entertaining friends and family at the cottage on Gauvreau Lake, Que. and sharing a glass of white wine or Dubonnet with her many friends and family. She loved all cats but particularly her cat Katie. Joan followed her own special diet of bananas, white wine, chocolate and peanut butter. Guaranteed to live a long life to 105. 

A heartfelt thank you to the care team at Thorncliffe Place Retirement Residence and Starwood LTC for the care, compassion and companionship they gave Joan in her last years. 

In accordance with Joan’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Burial in the spring at Rupert Union Cemetery, Que.

Donations in her memory may be made to the Ottawa Humane Society
