Joan enjoyed gardening, watching the birds in her backyard, exploring local craft shows, and collecting cherished items over the years. She was a dedicated member of her church where she formed lasting friendships.
Family was the heart of Joan's world. She traveled often to be with her loved ones, greeting each visit with her big bear hugs, heartwarming smile, and joyful laugh.
Joan is survived by her children: Gail (John), Carol (Roly), Janet (Les), Cindy (TJ), Joyce (Douglas), Renee, and her daughter-in-law Carol. She was a loving grandmother to 12 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Joan is also survived by her nieces Linda and Diane. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Lois and Virginia and her son Garry.
Family and friends are invited to Joan's Life Celebration on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at First United Methodist Church in Fairless Hills. Interment will be held privately.
