She was surrounded by her loving family at her home in Rancho Santa Fe.Joan married John Ryan on Sept. 3, 1983, and together they raised their two children, Peter and Kelly. Joan was recognized as a driven, respected and empathetic business leader, holding the CFO position at Hewlett Packard Printing Division, Tellabs, Alliant Food Service, and Sirva. With her bright, endearing smile and infectious laughter, "Joanie" had a gift for making those around her feel special.
