JOANNE IRENE HEDENSTROM, of Hillspring, passed away suddenly, on Thursday, May 26, 2022 at the age of 78 years.

Joanne was born on August 30, 1943. She was a third generation Albertan who grew up on her grandfather’s Pioneer Farm and went on to lecture in three of Alberta’s universities.

She is known throughout Alberta as a citizen advocate for animal rights, environmental issues and conservation. A deep abiding lover for animals was very evident at an early age. It would be a common sight to see her with her dog on her horse out for an adventure in the river bottom. Quite simply, Joanne loved the land, she will be greatly missed.

A Memorial Service will take place at HILLSPRING COMMUNITY CENTRE, 137 – 2 Avenue South, Hill Spring, AB, on Thursday, June 16, 2022 at 2:00 P.M.
