Born in NY, she moved to Hartford when she was 5, and graduated from Weaver High School. She loved ice-cream, Beach Park, theater, her friends, and her next big adventure. She hated sand in the house and dishes in the sink. She retired to Aventura Florida, with her husband, Melvin, where an active social life meant Joan added to her wonderful group of friends, many of whom will miss her fun loving ways and adventurous spirit.
