She will be greatly missed by her children (and their spouses); Barbara Wright, Beverly Dzwonek (and Joseph), Susan Carpenter (and Fred), Edward C.

They also provided Joan with a litany of grandchildren (and their spouses); Jason Mills (and Katrina), Joseph Dzwonek Jr., Debra Carman (and Sean), Jeremy Selph (and Jamie), Christopher Selph, Bethany Selph-Sitler (and Matthew), Jaclyn Mrak (and Ben), Edward Johnson III, Jacob Johnson, Ida Barrington and Hannah Morrison.

Beloved by all, with a heart for crafts – from sewing to painting, anything to put some color in the world. Recently she spent her days happily with her children or at Independence Place at Whiting Healthcare, enjoying projects, trips, and much more. Always with a blanket or sweater, always complaining of the cold weather even in the height of summer.
