Joan was born July 31, 1938, in Ames, Iowa, the daughter of John Winfred and Alma Lewina (Bauge) Severeid. She graduated from Cambridge High School in 1956 and attended secretarial school at AIB in Des Moines, Iowa.

Joan was a member of Nazareth Lutheran Church in Cambridge, where she was baptized and confirmed. She was an associate member of Fjeldberg Lutheran Church in Huxley. Joan was involved with a host of activities, including Ladies Aid, bake sales, choir, church treasurer and making quilts for Lutheran World Relief.
