Joan Osatchuck Obituary
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Joan Beecher Osatchuck, age 78,
of Horseheads, NY. Joan was born on September 7, 1947, to the late Mark and Encia
Beecher of clearwater Florida, and was a proud graduate of Corning East High School.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 41 years, Michael Osatchuck Jr., her
sister Jaqueline (Beecher) Morris, and brother Eugene Beecher.
Joan is survived by her twin sons, Michael Osatchuck III of Pocatello, Idaho, and Mark
(Shierlyn) Osatchuck of Horseheads, NY; brothers Jerold (Patricia) Beecher of Painted
Post, NY; Kenneth (Nancy) Beecher of Pasadena Maryland; and sister Beverly
(Beecher) Madorsky of Horseheads.
She was also a proud grandmother to seven wonderful grandchildren - Ashley (Chris)
Henry, Nathan Osatchuck, Carly (Jayden) Peterson, Rebecca Osatchuck, Macy
Osatchuck, McKenna Osatchuck and Connie Osatchuck. Also, five great-grandchildren
Tiffany Henry, Gage Kennedy, Trystan Henry, Leilani Henry, and Jackson Peterson. Her
grandkids were truly her whole world.
Joan worked for many years as a Nurse's Aide at Schuyler Hospital, where she cared
for others with the same compassion she gave her family. She loved crocheting and
made many beautiful blankets and Christmas stockings over the years. She also
enjoyed going for walks and watching NASCAR.
Joan was the kindest, most caring person - a strong woman who dedicated her life to
her family. She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and
friend. Those who knew her were blessed by her gentle heart and warm smile.
She is now reunited with our Dad Mike, and we find peace knowing they are together
again.
