Joan Koehne

Joan was born April 30, 1937 in Marble Falls to the late Martin Bruns and Lois Crownover Bruns of Round Mountain, TX. She graduated from Marble Falls High School followed by San marcos College.

She married Monroe Koehne in December 1960.

While working as a dental assistant in Victoria for Robert Finley, DDS, being a loving wife and raising three boys, she made sure there was time to be a little league team mom, den mother for cub scouts, active member of the PTA and loyal member of the Stroman Raider Booster Club and active church member.

In 1985 she and Monroe moved to Llano, TX to take care of her aging parents. She then became secretary of the Bluebonnet Baptist Church in Sunrise Beach, TX for many years. Then also while raising her granddaughter she volunteered for five more years of cheer/sports booster club, PTO duties in Johnson City, TX.

She enjoyed hunting, fishing, canning, baking, reading and caring for others.

She touched many lives from her 25 years of calling Victoria home to the 28 years of loving hill country life where her life began. Through her difficult battle with Alzheimer and dementia in the last year, her final months were spent enjoying life surrounded by her family.
