Joan lived in New Orleans since her birth in 1934. She attended St. Mary’s Dominican High School, where she developed her strong sense of faith in God. She worked as a sales associate at D.H.Holmes, Mel’s Monograms, and at Tulane Health Center. She mostly enjoyed her time spent with family. Through prayer adoration she expressed her devotion to the blessed sacrament at Holy Name of Jesus Adoration Chapel for many years. She was a member of Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, and later of Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church. She tirelessly served at Our Lady of Lourdes Senior Center. She was the ultimate coaches wife and sports mom. She supported her husband and family no matter what the endeavor. She spent many days and nights on the sidelines or helping out. She also enjoyed time spent with Tony’s large family in the country. Her joy came from her faith, volunteer service, and most of all, her family. She measured success in life by all that was important: faith, love and family. She will forever be loved and missed by all.
