Their beautifully manicured yard, all the nature that surrounded it and a sunny day. Forever fan of Johnny Mathis who she called “My Johnny”. Joan was a very strong, loving and selfless, wife, mom and grandma who cherished her family above all. Her caring nature and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
