Joan Phyllis Romanowski

She was employed by The SEFA Group for 20 years until her health would not allow her to continue.

Joan was a member of Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

She dearly loved going to the lake and beach, enjoying family and friends. She was a very loving and caring wife, mother, and “Nana”. She was our best friend and will be dearly missed.

She was preceded in death by her father, Glenn D. Renner.
