Tributes

In Loving Memory of Joan Newell Resident of Coronation Lodge Rest Home It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our dear resident, Joan Newell. Joan was a truly special woman—deeply religious, endlessly kind, and unfailingly positive. Her faith was a guiding light in her life, and her gentle spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Joan brought warmth, grace, and comfort into every room she entered. She had a way of lifting others with her smile, her kind words, and her unwavering belief in the goodness of people. Her presence at Coronation Lodge Rest Home was a blessing, and her absence will be felt deeply by us all. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to care for Joan. It was not just a responsibility—it was an honour. She enriched our lives in countless ways, and we will treasure the memories we shared with her. Joan will be hugely missed by the entire team at Coronation Lodge, and she will forever hold a place in our hearts. May she rest in peace.
