It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving Joette, a dedicated wife, mother, daughter, sister, and grandmother. Departing this world peacefully on January 4th, 2024, at the Dr. Y.K Jeon Kittiwake Medical Center, after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 56.

A loving wife to her husband of 32 years, Brian. Compassionate and selfless mother to her Children Alicia (Kyle) of Gander, Megan (Bradford) of St. John's and Zachary (Madison) of St. John's, treasured by grandchildren Ezra, Eli, and Avery and, cherished by parents Edgar and Marjorie of Centreville, brother Marvin (Janette) of Centreville and Mother and Father in-law, Edgar and Dinah Wells of Trinity. She will be dearly missed by the extended and numerous relatives of both the Rogers and Wells families, and a large circle of friends and colleagues.

For 30 years, Joette worked as a devoted teacher who was loved and respected by her staff and students, leaving a lasting and positive impact on those who worked and learned in her presence.

Joette appreciated the simple enjoyments in life. She loved to spend time outdoors gardening, berry picking, taking trips to the cabin or spending time out on the water. She especially thrived in her new role as a grandmother. Showering her three grandchildren with love and care, while always being there to provide help and support without a moment's notice.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the medical professionals and care workers of the health facilities in St. John's, Gander, and Brookfield for their outstanding care and compassion.

Joette will be remembered for her calming presence, patience, her desire to support others and her unwavering dedication to her family.
