Joan Brogdon Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 21, 2025.

Joan Lee Christie Brogdon of Fremont, Ohio transitioned from this life to the next on Monday, March 17th, 2025. Joan was born on October 16th, 1940 to Donald Christie and Georgia Turlington in Hampton, Virginia. Her closest relative throughout her life was her sister, Mary Potter, who resides in Minnesota. Joan was preceded in death by her husband and best friend, Donald "Donnie" Brogdon. "Joanie", as he liked to call her, and Donnie loved each other for 36 years before his untimely passing in 1996.

Joan is survived by her daughters, Sherri Brogdon-Soster (Keith) and Melinda Adams (Joe Gary), her grandchildren Sarah Woodard (David), Lauren Meade (Adam), Emerson Brogdon-Soster, Anthony Soster (Maddy Dubelko) and her great grandsons, Callan Woodard, Charlie Meade, and Elliott Meade.

Other than doting on her family, Joan had many hobbies including needlework, houseplants, feeding "her birds", westerns and watching her favorite sports teams, the Ohio State Buckeyes, The Cleveland Guardians, and anyone who beat the Yankees.

She worked for many years at Davis Besse, but Joan's favorite job was working at Bergman Orchard Farm Stands/greenhouses.

Generous by nature, having been raised with a sense of southern hospitality, she was kind, helpful and giving to everyone she knew and loved. Feisty, strong and full of grit, Joan was an incredible woman, daughter, mom, grandma, and great grandmother who will be deeply missed by all.
