Joan proudly served as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), dedicating her career to caring for others. Beyond her profession, she was an active and influential member of the National Ataxia Foundation, where she proudly held the position of president of the Louisiana Chapter.

Joan's love for her family was unparalleled; she cherished her time spent on her porch, sipping coffee, and sharing stories with her beloved sister. Joan's heart was especially full during moments with her grandchildren, whom she adored. She fostered a warm and loving family environment where everyone was welcome.

Rest in peace, Joan. Your love and light will forever shine brightly in our lives.
