Her smile, kindness, and sense of humor touched the lives of everyone around her. She especially loved to golf! Golfing with the ladies at Skyway Golf and with the ladies of the St. George Golf League were cherished times. Many lifelong friendships began on the golf course, as she and David golfed with others.

Sewing and creating masterpieces was of utmost importance to Joan. She cherished the time in her “She Shed,” creating one-of-a-kind handmade items that she loved to gift to family and friends. If she wasn’t golfing or sewing, she was in the kitchen. She had perfected Grandma Dorothy’s cinnamon rolls, as well as her own dinner rolls that she loved to bake.

She loved to travel with her family and friends, enjoying visits to the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Norway, Spain, and the UK.
