Joan Andersen Obituary

Andersen, Joan C. (nee Carney)

Feb 27, 1929 - Aug 13, 2025

Wife of the late Dr. Murray Andersen, of Buffalo, NY, died on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Joan was the daughter of James and Sarah McKinney Carney. She is survived by her children Lynne Andersen Jensen (Rod), Carol Finucane (Leo), Nancy Mislin (David), David Andersen; and daughter-in-law Kristan Carlsen Andersen (Robin Bronstein); and many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Joan was predeceased by her son Kevin Andersen and daughter Kathleen Andersen Roberts. Generous and wickedly funny in equal measures, Joan was a piece of work. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time. In lieu of flowers, please send Memorial Donations to Hospice Buffalo. Arrangements by AMIGONE FUNERAL HOME, INC.
