cherished spending time with her family more importantly her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and friends. She also enjoyed shopping, collecting many things but most importantly hats, she always had one on. One of Joan's favorite times was when she took her children on vacation

adventures because she was known as the "Road Runner" for always being on the go. She was very active in the community, she was a member of The First United Methodist Church of New Carlisle, the Charity Women's Group and in The Daughters of the American Revolution. Over the years, Joan developed many friendships while residing at the StoryPoint

Independent Living Care Center/Assisted Living and at SpringMeade Health Center with many other residents as well as staff. She cherished those relationships and they blossomed as time went on. She thrived in the friendly and welcoming living environment the facilities had as well as staying

involved with many activities they offered. The family would like to thank the staff at StoryPoint of Troy, SpringMeade Health Center and Ohio's Hospice of Miami County for their loving and compassionate care for Joan. Private services will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
