Joan raised the five children by babysitting for the friends and family of the area. Joan .

met and joined families with Keith Scott. They both adored the Legion and shared many

interests. She enjoyed camping and spending time with Keith. Waking up early in the

morning and spending time in her Gazebo which overlooked her huge garden and apple

trees was where you could fmd Joan. She loved her family and friends. Joan cherished

children whether they were her own or the ones she babysat. She was known as Auntie

Joan by all the children she babysat. Joan loved her pets. They were as valued as her

children. Joan enjoyed her garden, knitting, along with making jams and preserves. Her kitchen was always full of

company, and she enjoyed seeing everyone come in and have a visit. Joan loved to watch
