Joan was born June 14, 1934, in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, a daughter of the late Albert G. Conn and Bonnie Bell Furr Conn. She faithfully attended College Drive-Seventh Day Adventist Church in Pearl until her declining health would no longer allow her to do so. Joan’s family was the center of her life and she was never happier than when spending time with her beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. In her free time she enjoyed tending her flowers and working crossword puzzles.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Barney Cecil Rushing, Sr.; son, Michael Douglas Rushing; and grandchild, Misty Dawn Rushing.
Survivors include son, Barney Cecil Rushing, Jr. and wife Matha; daughters, Rebekah Ann Hawkins and husband Cecil, and Brenda Joyce Burns and husband Mike; sister, Jackie Conn Bridges; loving nephew, Charlie Conn and wife Jean; five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren and several nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
