A proud graduate of Graford High School, Joan continued her education at Howard Payne University. On June 13, 1954, she married Jack Duane Teague, with whom she lovingly raised two children, Duane Teague and Leanna Teague.
Joan was known for her unwavering faith and devotion to her church and was a member of the Coggin Avenue Baptist Church in Brownwood, where she enjoyed participating in various functions and gatherings. Joan found joy in life's simple pleasures, including watching her favorite television shows, such as *The Price is Right* and *Let's Make a Deal*. A passionate sports fan, she looked forward to cheering for the Texas Rangers and enjoyed the excitement of rodeos. Additionally, she held a special affection for Hallmark movies, particularly those celebrating the Christmas season.
Family gatherings and vacations were highlights in Joan's life, where she relished the company of loved ones. She remained in close contact with her friends, often sharing delightful conversations over the telephone. Joan's collection of stamps and character glass from McDonald's spoke to her unique interests, while her love for birds brought her immense joy-especially her treasured pet bird, Nuni.
