She and her husband loved to square dance, round dance and travel. She volunteered at St. Teresa Church, Pawtucket and LaSalette Shrine, Attleboro. Joan enjoyed computer games, puzzles and cards. Laughter was a strength of hers. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Besides her husband, she leaves two daughters, Karen A. Bissonnette and Cindy A. St. Jacques; a granddaughter, Lauren K. Bissonnette and her partner, Noreen Coughlin; a brother, Bernard J. Bernard, III; two sisters, Carol Lamarre and her husband, Gerry, and Barbara Perreira and nieces and nephews.

Her funeral will be held Tuesday at 10 a.m. from WILLIAM W. TRIPP Funeral Home, 1008 Newport Ave., Pawtucket, followed by a Concelebrated Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. in St. Teresa Church, 358 Newport Ave. Burial will be private. VISITATION will be Monday 4 to 8 p.m.

Dear Sonny and Family, I just read of the passing of your wife/mother I'm deeply sorry for your loss. She was a very nice woman, lots of memories. I know our families can't always be with us, but thank goodness for memories as those can never go away, may the memories help to ease your comfort a little bit each day. Much love, Michelle (Missy St.Jacques) and Stephen Rayhorn

Joan always had a beautiful smile and it was a pleasure to have been in the same Class with her at West High School.

I will remember her in my prayers.
