Joan is survived by four children: Clarice (Langevin) Cecchi and her husband Robert of Feeding Hills, MA., Karl Langevin and his wife Claire of Southbridge, MA., Michael Langevin and his wife Kim of North Syracuse, NY., and Karen Langevin of West Warren, MA., She also leaves a sister, Virginia DiGregorio, a brother Edward Mondor, 8 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren.

She was predeceased by two sons, Paul Langevin of Southbridge, MA and Steven Langevin of Wilmington, VT, and a grandson, Josiah Langevin.

She was born in Southbridge, the daughter of Harry and Marguerite (Mondor) Hill. She enjoyed working for 35 years as a nurse at Harrington Memorial Hospital in Southbridge. Once retired, she spent many years fulfilling her love of baking and knitting by selling her pastries and knitted goods at the Wilmington, VT Flea Market during the May to October season. She later moved to Readsboro Vermont and enjoyed the company of her new community of friends.

Private funeral services led by her grandson, Father Peter Langevin, will be held in May, followed by burial at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Southbridge, MA.

I have such fond memories of Auntie Joan! (My Mom is her sister Ginny) She a legend to my kids and I for bring Fluff when she visited CA, eating her yummy cream puffs and jam tarts, knitting beautiful blankets for us (mine was the raggedy Ann and Andy) knitting hooded sweaters for my kids, riding mini motor cycles in her backyard with my cousins, getting goats milk down the street and wonderful times on cape cod! My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Many years ago I was introduced to the Langevin card players and Joan was always there with the rest of us counting quarters at the table with a smile. I often remember fondly of those get togethers with jokes, laughter and good food. She will be missed.

She was a very special lady! We enjoyed having her for cookouts and overnight visits! When we visited at the nursing home she wouldn’t come out until she was told that her brother was there! Thank you Clarise and Karen!

I would like to say how much I loved my Auntie Joan. I loved visiting her home as a child. She taught both of my boys to knit. She hated it when I talked while playing cards. I know that we are only here for a short time and I can't wait 'til the day I can see her again. She will be missed greatly.

We have lost a wonderful person. I don’t know where to start singing her praises - so I won’t. Suffice to say Auntie Joan will be missed by all she touched.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
