Joan was a strong and unique individual, a loving wife twice, a devoted mother to her 6 children and their spouses, a caring grandma to 10 and great grandma to 11, a sister and sister-in-law, a favorite cousin and aunt and a true friend to so many. She was proud to have worked as a manager of cafeterias in the Portland Public Schools. She had an extremely positive attitude and can-do spirit. The cup was always half full. She loved God, entertaining, music and people, especially her family. She will be missed here on Earth, but her spirit still stirs within us.
