Left to cherish her memory are many cousins. She had had an unbreakable bond with her best friend Betsy Brown and her God daughter Emily Brown. Their love spoke volumes in the love and support given to Joan through the years and especially during her final days.

Joan was a dedicated employee of Hayden Ametek with over four decades of commitment to excellence there. She leaves many friends and coworkers.

Joan always looked forward to camping at Hamonasset Beach State Park with Tom and the many friends she made there over the years.

She will be remembered as the consummate hostess making sure to create lasting memories during holidays, birthdays, and celebrations.

She was a gifted artist, making signs and drawing pictures for birthday posters for her family, whatever the theme she made it.

Joan took great pride in her home. She looked forward to sitting by the firepit with friends and family listening, singing and dancing to her Alexa playlist.

A lover of animals, in her passing she will be reunited with her fur babies Menew and Isis.

Joan's time on earth was so short but her memory will live forever in the hearts and minds of the people she loved!
