Northrup, Joan Y.
Joan Y Northup, 83, of Weston entered the gates of heaven Sunday, April 14, 2013, at Care Partners Assisted Living under Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice. She was born January 6, 1930, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the daughter of David and Edith Claus. Joan married Wallace Northup on August 2, 1950 in Schenectady, New York. Joan was a 1948 graduate of Roosevelt High School of Hawaii, also where she gave Hula lessons at her mother's dance studio. She witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbor when she was a 11. Joan enjoyed being around family at the lake and attending church with her loving husband. Her smile will always remain in our hearts!

She was a woman of prayer; strong in faith. Now she is standing strong with her heavenly Father!

Both Wally and Joan played such and important part of my life in the early 1980's. God used you both to get me on the right path for my life. That included helping me meet my wife.
We both enjoyed seeing you both last year, but wished we could have made it more than that once. We pray God's blessings upon Wally and family during this time.

Wally, I remember the first time I met you and Joan at Kwik Trip in Mosinee and from that moment on I fell in love with the both of you. The love you had for each other was like none I had ever witnessed before. I am so very sorry for your loss. Joan holds a very special place in my heart. May the good Lord help you through this difficult time and may he bring you comfort and peace knowing that your beloved wife is an angel, just like she was to us here on this earth. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
