Joan loved to golf and bowl and was known to a little drag racing back in the day and also known for the infamous "horse bite", which was a powerful squeeze on your inner thigh that brought you to your knees - respect the bite. She was an incredible cook and was known for her secret recipe coffee cake. Joan and her late husband, Gordon were co-founders of America's Most Wanted Car Club. She will always be remembered for being a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
