Joan was born February 4, 1955 and went to be with her Lord November 18, 2018 after a brief illness. After attending Woodlawn High School, she worked for the State of LA where she retired as a supervisor after 30 years. She was a devoted wife, mother, Mimi (aka Meemers), and friend to all who knew her. She will always be remembered for her beautiful smile, kind heart, her love of life, sense of humor, and optimistic, faithful outlook on life. Joan loved spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren during all their school functions and holidays. Even when she was ill, she attended events via FaceTime so that she could keep up with their activities.
