Joan loved reading as she’d often tell people that she “hasn’t stopped reading since she learned to read.” She said yes to every adventure due to her love for traveling, hiking, camping, and the outdoors. Every May you could find her in Indianapolis or in front of her TV as she watched the Indy 500. Some of her other favorite things included collecting giraffes and The Wizard of Oz. Joan enjoyed cheering on the Badgers as a University of Wisconsin alumna and a proud member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority.
