In Loving Memory of Joan Gouldstone, a devoted mother and faithful servant of her community.

Joan Gouldstone passed away peacefully on January 28, 2024, at the age of 87.

Joan was born in Que Que, Rhodesia, Africa on August 28, 1936 to Harry and Cathrina Knoesen. She lived in Rhodesia until moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1979 with her husband, Murray, and son, Craig. In Africa Joan worked as an administrative assistant. While living in Georgia she had various jobs including elderly care, floral design, and doing demos for “Boars Head.”

In 2014, Joan moved to Culbertson to live closer to her son. She loved Culbertson and it quickly became her “home.” She enjoyed going to the senior citizen meals and gatherings where she made many friends. She attended Bethel Community Church and dearly loved her church family.

Joan is survived by her beloved son, Craig; grandchildren Laurie and Trevor; two great-grandchildren Leah and Landon; sister Leonie; and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her special friend Anne Heller and family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Glenn, and brother Bill.

Joan’s unwavering faith and compassionate spirit touched the lives of many. May her kindness and love continue to inspire all those who knew her. She will be dearly missed and forever cherished in our hearts.
