Joan and her husband had two daughters, Vickie and Gail. She spent time with her daughters and other young people in roles as Junior Choir Director and Girl Scout Leader. Joan was an active member of the Christ United Methodist Church in Scottdale where she sang in the choir, served on the Board, and was an officer with the United Methodist Women. She was also active in the Scottdale Chorale Society and served as their librarian.
