Heaven received another angel. Joan peacefully passed away with her family at her side. Joan was born in Seattle and made the Pacific Northwest her home. She was a proud graduate of WSU and made her home with Lisa in Olympia.
Joan was unselfish, giving, caring, loving, with a side of stubbornness. She played hard and lived well. You could find her cheering on the Cougars, Seahawks, and certain contestants on the reality shows she enjoyed. She had a very special spot in her heart of animals as well. Her surfing the Internet landed their multitude of animals the best toys.
Joan had many friends she could be found hanging with. She enjoyed camping, shopping for treasures, gambling, and most of all Scrabble with Lisa and her mom. She treasured life and encouraged those around her to do the same.
Joan is survived by her very best friend, Lisa Brinker; her mother, Kay Lancaster; her aunt, Martha Kemp; and cousins, Bill and Jim Kemp and family. Joan will join her father, Art Lancaster and grandparents in a heavenly reunion.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donation to your favorite charity.
