Joan Louise Tyson

Joan Louise (Young) Tyson passed away peacefully on the evening of Tuesday, July 9th after a long illness. Joan was born on December 28, 1935, in Johnstown, Colorado to Beryl (Gardner) and Frank Young.
During her childhood and teenage years, she followed her parents to various locales in the United States and Canada as her father worked in the sugar industry. In the early fifties she settled in Fellsmere where she graduated from high school at the old Fellsmere School. It was in Fellsmere that she met the love of her life, Cliff Tyson. They were married on December 21, 1955, and then raised two children, son Keith and daughter Laurie.
Joan worked for a short time at the South Puerto Rico Sugar Company in Fellsmere before taking a job with the U.S. Postal Service. She retired from the USPS in 2000 and enjoyed her retirement at the family home in Fellsmere, prior to coming to live with her son and daughter in-law Doris. She will be sorely missed.
She was predeceased by her infant sister, her husband Cliff, and her parents Beryl and Frank Young. She is survived by her son, Keith (Doris); daughter, Laurie; grandson, Drew (Anjali) and beloved cat, Bob. There will be no service.
She asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Shiloh Youth Ranch, 10655 Roseland Road, Sebastian, Fl 32958 in her and Cliff's honor.
