Joan enjoyed traveling, sewing, crafts and spending time in her flower garden. She loved listening to big band music. She was a caring mother, not only to her children, but was a mother figure to many. For the past 10 years, Joan was completely blind due to macular degeneration. Joan was an encouragement with her positive attitude and faith. She enjoyed hearing about people’s lives and loved sharing her life experiences with others. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were precious to her and she enjoyed every moment she spent with them.
Joan’s family would like to extend a special Thank-You to the entire staff at the Hiawatha Care Center for their care and compassion always shown to Joan and her family.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family in memory of Joan.
