Born in London, England, Joan lived a long and meaningful life marked by her devotion to family, faith, and her love of reading. She had a gentle way about her, and those who knew her will remember her for the warmth and thoughtfulness she brought to the lives of those around her.
Joan was married to Lino Peder, who preceded her in death on December 5, 1990. Together, they raised their family and built a legacy that continues through their children, grandchildren, and future generations. She also endured the heartbreaking loss of her beloved son, Michael Peder, who passed away on November 23, 2025.
Joan is survived by her children, Alexander Peder, and Susan, his former spouse and a cherished member of the family; Richard Peder and his wife, Nancy; and Bernadette Larratt and her husband, Douglas. She is also survived by her eight beloved grandchildren, who brought her great joy throughout her life. Her family was a lasting source of connection throughout her life, and her memory will continue to be treasured by the generations who follow her.
A faithful Catholic, Joan drew strength and comfort from her faith. Her quiet sense of humor and love of reading reflected her thoughtful nature and her appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. At 95, she leaves behind a lifetime of memories and a family grateful for the years they shared with her.
In her later years, Joan received care at Sunrise of Redmond before moving to Jefferson House in Kirkland, Washington, where she spent her final months. Her family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff at both communities for the care, kindness, and compassion they provided throughout her final years.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Church in Bellevue, Washington, with burial to follow at Sunset Hills Memorial Park.
May Joan be reunited in eternal peace with Lino and Michael in the loving presence of God. May perpetual light shine upon her, and may her family find comfort in their faith and in the enduring love they share.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen
