She was an ever so loving Grams to Derek Warman; and to her deceased grandson, Michael (Nica Thomas), John Patrick (Jenea); and Michael's and Johnny's mother, Nancy McMichael. She was a wonderful great-grandma to Anthony, Nicolas, Aislynn, Cecelia, Colton, Jack, and Theodore. Joan was a successful business woman for many years, working first in her parents' diner, next as the secretary to the President of Gordon's Shoes, later a lifelong musician in her band - The JEDs, and finally a successful realtor. Joan was an avid Pittsburgh fan, equally cheering on the Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins.

The traditional call to her daughter in Houston, Texas to celebrate a Malkin goal will be greatly missed.
