Joan's kindness, compassion, and welcoming nature was known to everyone she met. She loved to cook and was always trying new recipes. No matter what she decided to make, it was always delicious. Joan had a profound love for animals, and she was always taking them in as her own. Her love for those around her shone in her passion for spending time with her family and caring for her grandchildren. She did so through lots of family time, where she was always sure that there was an abundance of puzzles, games (both tabletop and electronic!), and, of course, laughter.
Joan is survived by her children, Elizabeth (Brian), Melissa (Scott); grandchildren, Dylan (Mackenna), Alyssa, Abigail; her furbaby, Brookie; and a host of extended family members. She was preceded in death by her husband, Miljojko Milenkovic.
