Joan Riffle Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Joan's infectious smile will forever be remembered by her husband, James, two sons, Adam Riffle and wife, Amanda of Berlin and Timothy Riffle of Walkersville, sister, Joyce Perry of O"Brien, FL, several nieces, nephews, and cousins, and the countless friends she has made over the years.
Joan was preceded in death by a sister, Mary Lou Simpson and a brother, Clayton Simpson.
Joan was a graduate of Lewis County High School and furthered her education obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Paralegal at Fairmont State College. She had retired after her dedicated career as working as the Deputy Clerk for the Lewis County Courthouse for 16 years. Joan had an adventurous side and enjoyed traveling and going on day trips. At home, she has a passion for crocheting, gardening and tending to her flower beds. Joan's friendly, energetic and loving touch will be missed.
