She was predeceased by her husband Byron in 1987, parents Christopher and Sarah Smith, sisters Pat Ashcroft and Joyce Carter, and two brothers in childhood. Joan was born in Greenwich, London, England and worked in the Central London Financial District for 4 years during World War II. She married Byron Layton of the Royal Canadian Artillery, in May 1945. She followed him to Taber, Alberta in 1946, where she lived for the next 42 years. During this time she and Byron were delighted to have 2 children – Ron and Wendy. She was very proud of Ron's achievements in Air Cadets and Wendy's musical talents and beautiful singing voice. Joan, along with Ron and Wendy were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-saints in 1961. Byron was already a member. She served faithfully in a variety of community and Church callings and especially enjoyed teaching young people. She worked at the Barons Eureka Health Unit in Taber for 28 years. Joan and Byron were blessed with 9 grandsons but no granddaughters to wear the beautiful christening gown she had sewn. She loved to quilt and knit. Her family members have been the recipients of beautiful handmade quilts, sweaters, toques, etc. When Joan was 47, Byron had a massive stroke which left him nearly quadriplegic. She dedicated herself to him for the next 15 years. She made almost daily trips to Lethbridge as she continued to work in Taber. As his condition improved slightly she was able to take him home on many weekends and on short trips. Joan loved to travel with whoever would go with her. She completed 18 cruises – on one of which she was able to take Byron. After retiring, she moved to Lethbridge where she lived for 12 years. Her last 18 years were spent in Calgary, where she was able to enjoy some of her family. Her last cruise was in celebration of her 90th birthday. Joan is known for her remarkable memory. She loved to share her life stories. She was often asked to share her experiences of World War II. She will be greatly missed by family and friends who loved her. Joan is survived by, her sister Theresa Bishop in England; children Ron (Linda), Wendy Thomas; Layton family grandchildren, Jared (Alexa), Brett (Cora), Davin, Troy (Jamie), Wade (Jamie), Thomas family grandchildren, Jason (Deb), Shaun, Christopher (Steph), Tyler (Katie), Layton family great-grandchildren, Ava, Tana, Soren, Ivy, Smith, Isaac, Amelia, Abigail, Caleb, Eden, Jordan, Christopher, Sydney, Rachel, Quinn, Allie, Cooper, Thomas family great-grandchildren, Emily, Hudson, Tori, Max, Matthew, Allison, Michelle, and Chloe.
