  • Notes 
    • Koebel, Joan (nee Heimpel)

      After celebrating Christmas with her family, she passed away peacefully at her home, after a brief illness on December 26, 2005 at the age of 66.

      Beloved wife of 45 years of Wilbert Koebel. Loving mother of Brenda and Tim Keller of Waterloo, David and Angie Koebel of St. Clements, Wayne and Sue Koebel and Yvonne and Trevor Roy all of Elmira.

      Devoted grandmother of Tyler and Matthew Keller of Waterloo, Ryan and Alicia Koebel of St. Clements, Kourtney and Kelsey Koebel and Ashley Winfield, all of Elmira. Step-grandmother of Amanda, Tyler and Trentan Roy.

      Sister to Ray (Janet) and Harold (Connie) Heimpel of Waterloo. Predeceased by her parents, Roy and Laura Heimpel, her brother Paul, her sister Joyce and her brother-in-law Jake Straus.

      Sister-in-law to Grace (Howard) Dietrich, Leonard (Sharon) Koebel, Marlene (Tom) Curtis, Edward (Iva) Koebel, Bernard (Judy) Koebel, Paul (Jody) Koebel and Roy (Patricia) Koebel. Joan will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews.

      Joan was a devout member of the St. Clements RC Church and a member of the Christian Mothers Society. She was a proud grandma who spent countless hours capturing memories for her grandchildren in scrapbooks that she created for each of them. She enjoyed gardening and particularly prized her beautiful gardens at the cottage.

      A special thank you to Care Partners Nursing for their support to enable Joan to spend Christmas at home with her family.
