Joan Smith Obituary
Joan will be deeply missed by her husband of 30 years, James H. Smith, Jr.; loving children, Michael (wife Lisa) Weleski and Stacey Weleski; grandchildren, Michael and Ava Weleski; brother and best friend, Joseph (wife Estella) Barton; many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and great friends; her special dog, Lucy; and granddog, Herbert Willis.
Joan was a cherished registered nurse for over 50 years. She was deeply devoted to the nursing profession and caring for her patients. She had a knack for making friends very easily wherever she went. She was always there for her family and was truly the best wife, mother, grandmother, and sister.
