Joan P. Roehr, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, in Oconomowoc, WI, at the age of 87. Born on July 12, 1935, in Milwaukee, WI, to the late Clarence and Martha (Kalbe) Rottmann.

Throughout her life, Joan was known for her kind, friendly, and gentle nature. She had a natural ability to make people feel welcome and at ease in her presence, and her warm smile and genuine concern for others endeared her to all who met her.
