After her children were of High School age she worked in shoe sales at Heckert's Shoe Store for 16 years retiring in 1992. Joan loved to travel and spend time with her children and husband. She enjoyed Friday night fish and sheepshead games that followed the fish lunches. She believed in the love of God and a good marriage.

Joan's one wish for her children is "to love one another and to overlook petty differences to make a bonded feeling for everyone."
