She was preceded in death by sister, Bettina.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 18, at 11 a.m. at Huntersville United Methodist Church. The family will receive guests following the Memorial Service in the Parish Hall adjacent to the Worship Center.

I first met Joan as a member of Weight Watchers. She was my Weight Watchers leader, and she encouraged me to become a leader myself. May she always rest in peace. What a dear friend.

I am so sorry at the loss of Joanne, she was a very special lady. I met Joanne when I was her member in her meeting that she lead at Weight Watchers here in Yorktown Heights, New York. I went to all of her meetings, and she inspired me to become a leader, and I did. May she rest in peace, and Jay I´m so sorry for your loss
