Joan Margaret Herve (9 Apr 1940 - 15 Aug 2026)

Kins what wonderful memories of you we will keep dear. A pocket rocket always with a good word, good fun, love but sadly terrible jokes :) Special thoughts for the love that you clearly had for our little girlies and how they reciprocated; they would come out with some exclamation or saying from years gone by and R and I would look at one another and say that was a Kins-ism! How lucky we feel to have had you in our lives and we send love your wonderful family J&Rx

Mum the time has come for us to say goodbye. I hope we do you proud. You were always there for everyone now it's time for us to come together and be there for you.
Love you Mum xx

Kinsy was funny, cheeky, and always had a mischievous sense of humour. She loved a cheeky joke and was never afraid to make us laugh with her playful double meanings. That wonderful sense of humour was such a big part of who she was, and it’s something we’ll always remember and smile about.
You was one in a million and the most beautiful lady who will be very missed by all x

Dearest Auntie Joan, we will all miss you so much, your laughter and sense of fun was such a constant in our lives. Your passing is a devastating loss for the family and your friends but your light will shine bright forever in the precious memories we hold so dear. Rest in peace our gorgeous auntie.

Joan, you were such a generous person, always thinking of others and full of life and laughter. I know you will be missed by everyone who knew you x x

Words are not enough to express how much you will be missed. You always brought a smile to everyone’s face. You were very kind and generous and loved by everyone especially me. Going to miss you Joan but will never forget you. Rest in peace xxx

In memory of a lovely Aunt. Always ready with a smile, great sense of humour and naughtiness.

In memory of Aunty Joan love Dawn, Peter, Elizabeth and Emily

With love and fond memories of all the happy times we shared with our 'special' family x

We'll really miss you, Joan. Such a lovely, sassy neighbour who could keep Max in order.

You will be greatly missed Joan, You really did leave such a positive impact on those who knew you or met you in the salon even if it was a brief exchange of words while waiting for your appointment, you really knew how to make people laugh with your brilliant sense of humour. We will miss your infectious laugh and you coming in and telling us your “Living the Dream”. You were truly special and will always be remembered.

Love you mum x

I arrived in London as. 20 year old Aussie & met Joan through work & she immediately befriended me & invited me to her home - where she introduced me to her wonderful roast beef & Yorkshire puddings 👍. We also brought our children to meet her several times & she always made us so welcome. What a kind generous & funny soul she always was & will be remembered by my family fondly forever ❤️

You were an icon, there has never been anyone like you. There will never be anyone like you. The most selfless person who would do anything for anyone. The most generous person who would give anything to anyone. The happiest and funniest memories in my life are from times with you. We will continue to make inappropriate jokes and laugh at inappropriate things in your memory. I will love you always. Long live the Kins.

Mum my heart is breaking and it’s so hard to believe that you are not here. Not just a mum you were everything to me and I’ll miss our morning chats on the bed putting the world to rights. You were so proud of all of us and the achievements that we all made. I know the last few months were not easy for you but you put on a brave face and still had the knack of making people laugh. You will always be remembered for your funny sayings and your jokes.
I pray that finally you are pain free. I love you Mum xx
