She passed from this life and joined her beloved husband, Dennis, in heaven on Monday, December 21, 2020 at her home in Broken Arrow. Joan spent the early part of her childhood in Arkansas where her father picked cotton and her mother was a seamstress. Eventually her father moved the family to California, and he got into the oil business. She played basketball as a youth, graduated from high school there and met the love of her life, Dennis while she was in high school. They married on November 14, 1958 in Coalinga, California. She was a pastor’s wife for over twenty years, was an “old school” mom who home schooled her own children. After they were grown, she joined the work force and became a referral specialist for the Warren Clinic for many years. Joan loved butterflies and purple was her favorite color. She also collected bells of all shapes and sizes as well as Precious Moments figurines. She and her daughter, Debby, would make an annual mother/daughter trip to Carthage, Missouri every year before Christmas to shop and make many memories together. She had a green thumb growing both vegetables and flowers and adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and spoiled them like crazy. Joan never forgot a family member’s birthday and always made them their favorite cake.
