Joan was the second of seven children, born to Elwood and Corrine Hickey March 10, 1932 in Belfield, ND. Joan spent many hours watching cooking shows on TV, collecting dolls and making her own style of scrapbooks. Scrapbooks have been gifted to each new baby in the family and many, many friends.

Also surviving her are ten nieces and nephews: Lee, Doug, LaRae, Janice, Patrick, Chris, Terri, Lori, Lisa and Deanna; as well as many great-nieces and nephews.
