Joan was raised at the top of the hill in Steubenville OH. She was the life of the party from the start. Joan moved to St. Louis MO with her 1st husband Harold Jones where she lived most of her adult life. She believed deeply in the Catholic Church and showed her faith in helping anyone she could; she never knew a stranger. She was later often defined by her work as a Certified Professional Secretary to provide for her seven children and through that work she would make countless friendships that would become chosen family.
