Beloved mother of Joseph (Susie) Johnson, Dan (Jimmy Taranto) Johnson, Sharon Farwell and Michael (Lori) Johnson; sister of Patrick Witte; cherished grandmother and great grandmother; our dearest mother-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend.
Joan graduated from Forest Park Community College with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science in Respiratory Therapy. She worked as a respiratory therapist for many years.
Joan knew no strangers, if you needed help, she would help anyway she could, feed the hungry, tend to the sick and comfort the sad or lonely.
Joan was a strong independent woman who did things on her own terms and stood up for the things she believed in. You always knew where she stood.
She will be forever missed. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to a food pantry of your choice in Joan's name.
A memorial service will be held at Hoffmeister South County Chapel, 1515 Lemay Ferry Rd. on Friday, August 15, 2014 at 6:00 pm.
