Joan S Littman

JOAN LITTMAN, 91, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2026. Preceded in death by her loving husband William Littman, parents Charles and Betty (Feibus) Stein and sister Bernice (Stein) Shamis, she is survived by her sons Bob (Leslie) Littman, Jim (Sandy) Littman and Tom (Kim) Littman, grandchildren Kaitlin (Will), Jamie (Drew), Carrie (Nelson), Jennifer (Henri), Joe (Michelle), Mitchell (Elise), Tara (Josh), Allison (Logan), and Sam (Christina), and 16 great-grand children.

Born in 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio, Joan lived in northeast Ohio most of her life. She graduated from Cleveland Heights High School and received her undergraduate degree in education from Case Western Reserve. She married William in 1956. Joan absolutely loved doing crossword puzzles and listening to classical music, but her greatest joy was raising her three boys and watching them build their lives and families.

The family will be receiving friends on Sunday, November 15 from 2:00-5:00 pm at the residence of Jim and Sandy Littman. The family would like to share their heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful and loving aides with Visiting Angels and the nurses and staff at the Cleveland Clinic Hospice. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Cleveland Orchestra or Temple Israel.
