Joan was a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. Her joy was found in spoiling her children and grandchildren. Renowned for her cooking and home decorating skills, she greatly enjoyed hosting family gatherings and ensuring everyone felt at home. Selflessly prioritizing others, she offered a listening ear and unwavering support. She also enjoyed gardening and trips to the lake with family and friends. Joan was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
