Joan Mathias Ungerman

Joan had a passion for education, teaching, working at the YMCA Casa shelter and most recently working with her dear friend Carol Gene Cohen (of blessed memory) as a college counselor. She spread so much joy, happiness and confidence to all she touched. She was the world’s greatest nana and truly saw the best in everyone. She was fiercely independent. She loved sports, doing newspaper puzzles, traveling, playing MahJong and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She had a great outlook on life and was always the optimist. Joan will be missed by all who knew her.

Joan is survived by her children, Julie Ungerman, Marni Fligel (Andy) and Drew Ungerman (Kelly); her grandchildren Hayley and Harper Fligel and Maxwell and Maya Ungerman; her brother Mark Mathias (Marcia) and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

Pallbearers are Julie Ungerman, Marni Fligel, Drew Ungerman, Larry Weissman, Andy Fligel and Noah Light. Funeral services at Temple Emanuel on Friday, February 18, 2022, at 10 am. Graveside Service to follow. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be sent to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) or a charity of your choice.
