You could always find Joan wearing her favorite color pink. Joan loved reading, especially her gossip magazines. She enjoyed thrift stores, flowers, game shows, pull tabs, puzzles, watching the birds and squirrels, playing bingo, or heading to the casino for the day. But most of all, she loved being with her family.

Joan was a saint, always patient and kind, she will be missed deeply by all who knew her.

Joan was preceded in death by her spouse, Donna Kane; Her parents, John and Hilda (Stull) Spang; Her brothers, Gerald (Donna) Spang and Thomas (Joan) Spang; And her sister, Choral (Robert) Watgen.
