WATTS, Joan:
Joan's determination and "sometimes" stubbornness allowed her to live life on her terms. Her interest in all sports, particularly bowls, current events and family, along with a great sense of humour, kept her young. Joan was the matriarch of Fitzroy Villas. The game is over and the podium is ready. Tainui Village, Fitzroy Villa residents and staff extend their sympathy to Joan's family.
