Born and raised in Rochester, NY, Joan married her high school sweetheart Tony (1934-2022) in 1953. They spent the next nearly 70 years on life’s adventures, raising 3 children, and later traveling near and far to a new and different place every year. They loved their cruises!
Joan was a loving wife, mother and friend, as well as a devoted grandmother and great grandmother. She enjoyed sewing and quilting, making sure that all new members of the family had one of her handmade quilts.
For over 40 years Joan was employed by the Burbank Unified School District as a teacher’s aide.
She loved working with children, helping them with their unique and special needs.
She is survived by her 3 children and their spouses, as well as 3 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Joan is also survived by her sister, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
A funeral mass will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, at St. Finbar Catholic Church 2010 W. Olive Ave., Burbank, CA.
