Joan worked as a medical social worker for the Visiting Nurse Association of Central New Jersey, Red Bank, for almost 20 years, where she was well known and admired. She was a strong and fiercely independent woman and will be missed by many.
Joan is survived by her daughter Michele; her two grandchildren, Emily and Michael and his wife Amanda; six great-grandchildren, Annabella, Elliott, Owen, Khloe, Kenneth, and Anthony. She is also survived by her previous husband, Michael.
