Joan Jerdan Obituary
Born January 2, 1947, in Philadelphia, she was a daughter of the late Edward and Ann (Walker) Perry.
Joan loved traveling the world and returning to her beloved cats, Jack and Annie. Her favorite place to visit was Africa, having gone three times. She loved animals and nature. She cherished her family most of all and their yearly vacation to the Outer Banks. She will be deeply missed by her whole family.
Joan is survived by her children, Tara Derstine and her husband, Gary, and Greg Jerdan and his fiancé, Holly Kaminski; grandchildren Courtney Sonder and her husband Jacob, Brianna Domenick and her husband Nathan, Julia Jerdan and her fiancé Zachary Dalesio, and Isabella Crocco; sister Janice Trichtinger and her husband Dr. Martin Trichtinger; and brother-in-law Albert Jerdan. She is also survived by nieces, nephews, and extended family.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister Carol Jerdan.
