Joan was married to her loving husband for fifty-three years. She lived in her West Haven, CT, home for about 70 years, raised four children there, loved her flowers, gardens, painting, knitting, puzzles, and games. She was a housewife and mother first. She worked at the telephone company before children then worked as a secretary afterwards for Schull Associates. She was a devoted born-again Christian for over fifty years, knew her Bible and had great faith. She loved all her family and all who passed through her life. She prayed always for everyone to come to know Jesus Christ like she did, and for everyone's wellbeing through this life. She was a devoted caregiver to many family members through the years. Always giving, caring, and loving. She passed away at Branford Hospice peacefully with family by her side.
A celebration of the life of Joan Schull will take place at Gateway Christian Fellowship, 129 Bull Hill Lane, West Haven, CT, at 9 am on April 11, 2026.
