Joan Post Obituary
Our dear mother, Joan (Ellsworth) Post of Cromwell, CT passed away peacefully on February 18, 2023, at the age of 91.
She was born in Portland, CT to H. William and Beatrice (Mott) Ellsworth on December 13, 1931. Joan was a devoted wife to the late James A. Post of Cromwell, CT and a wonderful mother and grandmother who was always there when we needed her.
She leaves her son, Keith Post and wife Susan of Colchester, CT and her daughter, Deborah Post Brennan and David O'Neil of Charlestown, RI; grandson, Steven Post and wife Stephanie of Colchester, CT; two great-granddaughters, Josslyn and Jillian Post.
When she wasn't working and taking care of her family, she spent time traveling in her motor home with her husband, Jim and enjoying her passion for antiquing. She especially loved buying and selling vintage jewelry and spending time with her many friends who shared her love of collecting.
A private family burial will be held at Center Cemetery, Portland CT. We invite you to make a donation to the American Heart Association in her honor, in lieu of flowers. To share memories or send condolences to the family, please visit www.doolittlefuneralservice.com
