Joan L. Hara

Joan L. Hara (née Rosenberg) passed away peacefully on March 25, 2026. She was the devoted wife of the late Harvey Hara, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and memories until his passing in 2023. Joan was the adoring and proud mother of Glenn (Katy) Hara and Scott Hara. Her greatest joy in recent years was her role as "Nana" to her cherished grandchildren, Samantha and Ben, to whom she passed on her warmth, wisdom, and spirit. She was the dear sister of Phyllis Savitt and was preceded in death by her brother, Burton Rosenberg. A woman of deep family devotion, Joan leaves behind a legacy of kindness and strength that will be carried forward by her children, grandchildren, and extended family. May her memory be for a blessing. Arrangements by Chicago Jewish Funerals - Skokie Chapel, 847.229.8822, www.cjfinfo.com
