Joan was born June 11, 1933, in Runcorn, Cheshire, England to David and Doris (Molyneax) Faulkner.

Joan worked as a case manager of a group home. She was also an alcohol counselor. Before retirement, she was a counselor at Consumer Credit Counseling.
When she was able, she loved traveling back to England to visit her family. She also liked to meet up once a month with other women from England who lived in Quincy. In her spare time, she loved reading, watching The 700 Club, following world politics, and watching the Kentucky Derby. She also made a point to eat at Fatback's every Friday night. Most of all, Joan loved spending time with her family, who will deeply miss her.
