Joan Holbrook Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Joan shared a rich and fulfilling life with her beloved husband, Charles "Chuck" Holbrook, traveling the world by his side, creating cherished memories together. She delighted in cooking, gardening, and welcoming family for holidays-her home always resonating with warmth, laughter, and the aroma of her lovingly prepared meals.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Chuck; her son, Ronald Howard Heintz; her brothers, Leroy and William; and her sister, Mae Katherine (Mick).
Joan is survived by her children: Randall G. Heintz (Roberta), Daniel W. Heintz (Sandra), and Kathleen J. Heintz Curtin (Jerry); her step-children, Chuck Holbrook and Angela Holbrook Berg; 16 grandchildren; multiple great-grandchildren; and many loving nieces and nephews.
A private family service will be held in her honor. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association or to a charity of your choice.
May her memory live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
