Joan Neverdousky Roach

I wish the family peace with their memories.

Joan & I were born 2 days apart in Bridgeport Hospital in 1935. We lived on the same street growing up in Southport. Our families were friends & would visit. Joan was a good friend & we spent a lot of time together in the summers. I remember several of us would go to her grandmothers on Duck Farm Rd. to swim. I´m sure she will be missed.

Sheila and Molly: sincere and deepest condolences from the Cole´s family.

I wish the family peace at this time. I knew Dr. Jim from daily Mass at St. Rafael's in Bridgeport. I had met Joan a few times but felt that I knew her by the way that Dr. Jim spoke about her. They are together again surrounded by the love of Jesus.

To the Roach Family and Tom Roach... Sorry for your Loss. Would see Dr and Mrs. Roach at 9:00 Mass at St Ann Church weekly. Always pleasant in their quiet way. She is reunited with Dr Roach and all other family members gone before them. God Bless You All. Judy

Mrs. Roach was a wonderful lady and neighbor for so many years in Black Rock-both on Hilltop and Pearsall Way. I always enjoyed seeing she and Dr. Roach taking walks around Pearsall in recent years, so sweet and loving and always interested in catching up on the Cooney's, and will be forever grateful for their kindness toward our dad. They were both living angels and touched so many. Sending hugs and prayers to Nora and all the Roach clan. Siobhan McCormack

Mrs Roach used to cook us dinner during the Prep days with Tim. God bless the Roach family.

Joan was the wind beneath Jim´s wings. She was a beautiful,joyous,generous,angel. She treated every patient and every friend as a member of her family, all were welcome. God knew that she belonged with Jim so he took her home. Our condolences and gratitude to the Roach family for sharing these 2 special people with us.

Joan was the only classmate that I had gone through all 15 years of school with. We went to St. Thomas School in Fairfield together for 8 years, Lauralton Hall in Milford for 4 years & St. Vincent's Hospital School of Nursing for 3 years. We even rode the train from Fairfield to Milford every day when we were students at Lauralton. We double-dated to the Lauralton Prom when she was dating Jim, & of course we were at their wedding. She was a great friend & I'll never forget her! My...
