For over 35 years, Joan dedicated herself to the service of others as a nurse and office manager for local family practitioners, Dr. Loman and later, Dr. Abrams. Joan left an indelible mark on the lives of countless patients. Above all, Joan was an adoring wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
