Joan E. (Gillilland) (Covell) Van Alstine of Lansing, Michigan, passed away Sunday, November 1 2020, in the care of Holt Senior Care Center where Joan lived the last few years of her life. She enjoyed all of the nursing staff and they loved her. Holt Senior Care Center took very good care of Joan. One of her favorite things to do was feed the ducks at the Olympic Broil in Lansing. She will be forever remembered for saying, “I have never seen so many ducks in my life” and for always keeping the nurses on their toes with her response of “What’s up!!” Joan will always be the social butterfly in the room and her love for playing Bingo.
Joan is survived by her daughters Linda, Carol and Gayla, and one son Jimmy.
Visitation will be held Friday from 5pm to 7pm at Gorsline Runciman Funeral Homes, Lansing Chapel.
A funeral service will be held Saturday, November 7, 2020 at 1pm at the chapel.
