Joan Margaret Millicent Patrick-Cournyer departed this earth peacefully on November 20th, 2023.  Joan was born to Margaret and William Patrick on January 20th, 1937 in Newcastle, England, living through WWII.  She worked in restaurants, while marrying and immigrating to the United States.  After a career spent working in hospitality in California and Texas, she eventually relocated in 2020 to live near family in Colorado Springs, CO. 

Joan enjoyed socializing with her family and friends and had fond memories of cruise ship travel and other trips. Her beauty was matched by her beautiful spirit.  She loved animals, especially her last dog, Snuggles.    

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest “Coney” Cournyer, and Daughter Julie.  She is survived by Daughters Jackie Joul and Diane Hoogs, several grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. 

At family’s request, no service will be held.   The family would like to thank the staff of LifeCare Center of Colorado Springs and the Compassus Hospice team for all they did for Joan.  In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to their favorite charitable cause.
