Preceded in death by her parents, Joan is survived by her brother Max Stickelman Dixie, her children, Mona Wright-Shay Mike, Johnathan Lenker Nancy, Ruth Simpson, Teresa Fast Lee, her nieces and nephews, six grand and eight great grandchildren.
Joan was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, friend, wife, bank teller, and missionary, planning commissioner, bank manager, student, artist, and mentor. She enjoyed the outdoors, walking, watching birds, reading, music, painting, and crochet. In the late 1970's Joan achieved her BA degree in Anthropology. Joan lived with grace, dignity, humor, unconditional love and acceptance.
A graveside service will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at Sunset Gardens, Richland. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Alzheimer's research in Joan's name.
She was a great sister-in-law. Many good memories.
I would like to express my sympathy to Joan’s family, in the loss of their Mother. We were friends in a little one room school and then in high school. Joan was a couple years ahead of me, but we were fiends. I knew Joan’s family and the Lenker family, too.
Mom – Grandma was an amazing woman and I miss her hugs and her smile . I was lucky I got 32 years with such a beautiful soul.
Love you, Melissa
