Joan worked extremely hard her entire life, working at Petersons Plastics, Joy Manufacturing, Goodyear Rubber, Splitball Bearing, the VA Hospital and Walmart, making friends wherever she worked. Joan loved to do random acts of kindness for others while never wanting any credits for those acts. Joan was also known for her sense of humor saying almost anything to get a rise out of someone. Joan was the target of her own self-deprecating humor. Joan was fiercely independent and had a love for all New England professional sports teams. One of Joan's favorite sayings was, "She lived, she laughed, she loved, she left."
