Joan Card Obituary
93, of Temple Terrace, FL passed away August 25, 2025. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Edgar "Eddie" A. Card, and son, Kevin P. Card. She is survived by her daughter, Kimberly C. Minford and grandsons, Brooks and Matthew Minford, Christopher and Michael Card. Originally from Westport, New York, Joan and Eddie moved to Temple Terrace in 1968. While Eddie began a long and dedicated career with Pepin Distributing Company, they built a home filled with love, laughter, and steadfast commitment to family.
Her greatest joy was answering to both "Mimi" and "Missy," affectionate names bestowed by her grandchildren, who adored her. She celebrated their milestones, offered gentle guidance, and was their constant source of warmth and encouragement.
Joan will be remembered for her gracious spirit, quiet strength, and her way of making everyone feel seen and welcome. She cared deeply for her friends, relatives, and immediate family, nurturing bonds that spanned generations and modeling a life of kindness, constancy, and grace.
A memorial service will be held Friday, September 5, 2025 at 2 pm at Temple Terrace United Methodist Church, 5030 E. Busch Blvd., Temple Terrace, Florida 33617. A reception will follow the service at TPepin Hospitality Center.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Temple Terrace United Methodist Church.
