Joan Weick

Joan K. Weick (Iciek) age 73 went to be with her Lord, Saturday, August 1, 2015. Joan's life was defined by love, none more so than the 53 years of marriage she shared with her husband, William (Bill) Weick. Born in January 1942, in Hopkins, Michigan, Joan was afflicted with juvenile diabetes at the age of 13. Unwilling to let her disease define her, or even slow her down, Joan received both her undergraduate degree and master's degree from Western Michigan University. Bill and Joan would build a wonderful life together in Hopkins, where she taught elementary school students, and where they raised three beautiful children Julie (Jeff) Staple, John (Susie) Weick, and Rita (Jim) Betcher. Moving to Gun Lake to begin a grocery business with her husband, Joan remained active, founding the GFWC - Gun Lake Area Women's Club and serving as the State President. More importantly, all of Joan's children would remain close throughout her life, allowing her to remain involved with her beloved grandchildren, Alex (Gina), Steve, Katie (Cody), Megan, Paul, Jack (Jackie), Stephanie, Sarah, Stephen, Libby, and Emily. Joan was fortunate to meet her only great-grandchild as well, Lucia Joan. Joan was preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Rose Iciek, as well as her brothers, Stanley Iciek and Joe Iciek. Joan's remaining siblings include Lorraine Calkins, Christine (Fred) Steffens, Betty (Ben) Wisniewski, Maxine (John) Gordon, Stephanie (Ed) Fletcher, Robert (Lynn) Iciek; along with her in-laws Margaret Iciek, Mary Iciek, Mary Lou (George) Adams, Laurie Weick-Wood; and many nieces and nephews. Joan will be missed and loved by all.
