Not sure what to say?

I am thankful I was able to visit you in a Florida the past few years, I will miss Give Linds a big hug for me when you reunite in heaven!!

Mrs Brann when I was a child then it was Joan as the years continued beginning from her being my blue bird counselor ,to taking care of my kids at Sand Lake. Many years our lives have been touched.
I was lucky to see her throughout the years more since I moved to florida I'm thankful I got to see her towards the end
She will always live on through my heart and in conversations.
My heart and prayers are with the family ❤
Love Wendy Geha Calabrese

Survived also by her adopted granddaughter, Jenny Keim. Jenny met Mom after broken femur and, not only cared for her when we couldn't, but advocated for her fiercely, taught me how to interact with institutional bureaucracy, and whose love melted their hearts and brought Mom closer to us.
Fare Thee Well, mama Josie Joan Joann

Joan was born in Pontiac, MI on May 12, 1930.

Joan loved her family and heritage and enjoyed summers at Sand Lake with cousins, aunts, uncles, children, grandchildren and friends. Family aside, she enjoyed dancing and music the most. She was also a seamstress and sewed all her own clothes. She whipped up some beautiful dance attire for square, round, ballroom and swing dancing.  Joan was actively dancing until she broke her femur in 2023.

Joan obtained a degree in teaching Montessori (early childhood). For years she shared her skills with many of her grandchildren.

She was a caregiver at heart. She took great care of her parents up until the day they left us. She was never afraid to seek alternative health solutions for herself, her parents, her children and grandchildren..

Joan was an avid “puzzler”. She had over 90 puzzles built, mod podged and hung on the walls of her apartment.
