Joan Lockwood Obituary
ALLEGANY -- Joan M. Lockwood of Valley View Drive, formerly of Hungry Hollow Road in Great Valley, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 18th 2025, at Olean General Hospital surrounded by her family.
Joan was born on April 17, 1944 in Salamanca NY, daughter of Dr. Frederick and Dorothy Stanley. Her large loving family included four brothers, Donald, David, Wayne, and Frederick, her twin sister Judy, and Carol Ann. She married her high school sweetheart, Dean Lockwood, on March 30th, 1963.
A devout Christian, Joan was a Sunday School teacher at First United Methodist Church in Salamanca for many years. Faith and family were the centerpieces of her life. She will be remembered and cherished for her grace, unwavering love, and selflessness.
"Mema" was known to many around Olean as she enjoyed some of her favorite activities: spending time with her grandchildren, bargain hunting at local stores, and searching for hidden treasures at estate and garage sales. She was an expert at refinishing and refurbishing antique finds and enjoyed sewing projects.
Joan is survived by her three children, Thomas D. (Tina) Lockwood of North Collins, Craig S. (Kathryn) Lockwood of RI, and Karen S. (Bill) O'Dell of Allegany as well as 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Joan was pre-deceased by her husband Dean of 62 years and her beloved son Rick.
