Joan Brigman

On Friday, November 1, 2010, God called his daughter Joan home. She passed away peacefully with her daughter at her side. Joan was born in Temple, Texas on September 23, 1923. She grew up in Texas, where she met and married her hero, Robert Brigman, on November 19, 1945. Together they raised a family of three. Once they retired she enjoyed traveling alongside her husband, crossing the country in their motor home. She loved being a part of the lives of her grown children, and her numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. "Mama" or "Gamm", as we knew her, spent the last few months of her life exactly where she wanted, in her grand-daughter's home surrounded by her loving family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, and her brother, Robert Belk. She is survived by her children, Karon and her husband John, Guy and his wife Maralyn, and Michael; her 10 grandchildren, Jennifer, Nathan and his wife Dayna, Christopher and his wife Tricia, John and his wife Meytal, Nicholas, Hanna, Zachary and his wife Renee, Coleman and his wife Nina, Travis, and Ryan and his wife Stacy; her 9 great-grandchildren Jordan, Grace, Skyler, Jasper, Jeremy, Coda, Trenton, Tanner, and Jaycee. We, her family, take comfort in knowing she is finally at peace and has joined Papa for their next journey. Funeral services will be held at St. Paul's Anglican Church at 120 N. Hall Street, Visalia, on Thursday, November 18, 2010 at 1 pm.

Arrangements under the direction of Miller Memorial Chapel, Visalia, CA.
