Obituary for Joan Millicent Fitt
Joan Fitt (nee Collins)
September 18, 1920 – March 4, 2015
Joan was born in the Anglo-American Hospital in Cairo, Egypt to Lt Col John & Kathleen Collins. As a child, she lived in Hong Kong then Dehra Dun, India. She attended boarding school in Tunbridge Wells, England. Her parents moved to England upon her father’s retirement from the British army. She met and married in 1944 a Canadian, acting W.O. E.C. “Pat” Fitt. As a war-bride she arrived in St. Lambert, PQ then, upon Pat’s demobilization, they moved out west as he rejoined his career with the Canadian Pacific hotels. Over the years, the family lived in Banff, Lake Louise, St. Andrews, NB, Calgary, Regina, Toronto, and Montreal. Joan was an active participant in the Canadian Trail Riders Association, the Calgary Philharmonic Women’s League and The Group, a Calgary artists’ co-operative.
Joan is survived by daughter Anne Helps, son Michael, daughter-in-law Deborah and grand-daughter Alicia.
As per her wishes, there will be no funeral.
An accomplished artist, music lover, avid reader and adroit conciliator, she was a woman of inquiring mind and wide-ranging interests. She will be remembered.
