They lived on a small farm and raised horses, sheep, pigs and cattle. Joan was a homemaker and spent the rest of her life caring for her family. She never missed her kids' activities. Whether it was sports, FFA, band or academic contests, Joan was there quietly cheering on her children and later, her grandchildren. She loved to read and spent countless hours reading to her grandchildren. When Grandma Joan was coming to visit, there was a good chance that she had brought a new book with her. Joan was also an excellent seamstress and made many of the girls' dresses when they were young. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Luther for many years.
