Joan was a very caring person who truly loved people. She was deeply devoted to her family and sacrificed greatly for them over the years. She was a loyal friend to many. She had a servant’s heart, and was always putting the needs of others before her own. She loved to socialize with friends and family, and family events were very important to her. She had a love for Jesus with a faith that continued to grow throughout her life, and she passed this faith on to her children. She was actively involved in the church community for many years.
