CARTER, Joan Elizabeth RN In loving memory of Joan Elizabeth (Kennedy) Carter of Perth, Ontario, formerly of Halifax, NS, passed away in hospital in Perth on Wednesday, March 16th, 2011. Joan was born in Great Village, NS on May 7, 1942 and lived there until training as a nurse at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax, graduating with the class of '63A. She worked in Halifax for several years before going to work in London, ON. Joan was diagnosed with MS in the 70's and moved back to Halifax shortly thereafter. She continued to work as a nurse, mainly on the Neo-Natal ward at the Izaak Walton Killam Hospital for Children and later established the Enterostomal Therapy position, which is for the care of open wounds in babies.

Joan was a lover of music, and while in Halifax was in the choir of Rockingham United Church. She was an avid reader and was also a writer herself, writing Tears, Trials and Triumphs: history of the VG School of Nursing, as well as an article for the NS Historical Review entitled Jane Soley Hamilton, Midwife. She was also the editor of the VG Nurses Alumni magazine for many years.
