Joan Brammer Obituary
September 18, 1932 - January 30, 2025
Joan Shirley Clever Brammer was known as Joan, Mom, Grandma, or Great Grandma. Mrs. Brammer was a shining light of faith, fun and positivity to all. She was a long-time member of Rosalind Hills Baptist Church, Roanoke, VA before moving to Winston Salem, NC in 2012. She worked at C & P Telephone in Roanoke as a Directory Assistance Operator until her retirement. Joan was preceded in death by her husband Carlton F. Brammer of Roanoke, Virginia, her parents John and Pearl Clever of St. Clair Shores, Michigan and her brothers: John, Joseph, and sister Loretta. She is survived by brothers Robert Clever (Lynn), Chuck Clever, and sister Charlotte Dumka.

The family will hold a private ceremony in Mrs. Brammer's honor at a later date.
