Joan Womack

She was born to Mathew and Bessie Silver Nelson on February 24, 1940, in Los Angeles, California. On January 14, 1961, she married her best friend and sweetheart, John C Womack.

Joan received her Bachelor's degree in Education from Westmont College and a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Development from Pepperdine University. Always an educator, Joan taught Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade in Norco, California and helped establish the Kindergarten at Crossroads Christian Church in Corona.

Joan accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and served Him faithfully throughout her life in California and Utah. She was a member of Risen Life Church where she faithfully taught Children’s Sunday School and Children’s Worship, sang in the choir and was very involved in her Sunday School class and supporting missionaries. She was also blessed to be the Children’s Director for Bible Study Fellowship for many years.

Her greatest joy was loving and caring for her family. She is survived by her daughters Jan (Jeff) Rolan, Jill Wiggins; grandchildren Jeremy (Sabrina) Rolan, Joanna (Daniel) Hackman, Katy Wiggins; and cherished great-grandchildren Macenna, Kayzlynn, Rory, and RJ. She also leaves her niece Karen (Tom) Wong who was as close as a sister; and is preceded in death by her husband John and her parents.

The many cards, messages, and prayers from friends during her illness were a great comfort to Joan and her family.

In light of the holidays and COVID, the family will hold a small private ceremony on Tuesday, December 28. Interment will be at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
