Joan was an Avid Alabama Crimson Football Fan who kept a tradition of making a big pot of chili before every game. She loved traveling and especially loved the beach. Joan was well known as an excellent cook and, for years, kept the pilots of Hanger 1 well-fed. After Fred’s death, she moved to Ashville and loved sitting on her porch visiting with family and friends.
A special thanks to her son-in-law, Jackey McGuire, who passed earlier this year, for checking on her constantly and keeping her company. She always said she was so grateful that he was there. It made her feel safer.
