Joan B. Mavor

Joan B. Mavor (née Thorndike), of Bridgewater, formerly of East Bridgewater, passed away on May 9, 2023. She was 82. Joan graduated from Stonehill College and went on to have a successful career as a teacher. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening, keeping her birdfeeders full, and sunny days in the yard with her beloved dogs over the years, most recently, Trista. She looked forward to the monthly luncheons with high school friends and was happiest when surrounded by her family. Joan will be deeply missed.
