Joan was the loving mother of Rob Pigeon (Sandy), Mark Pigeon, Patrick Pigeon (Ann), Nicole Simpson (Paul) and Nadine Broy (Mike). Joan loved family! Joan was always excited about connecting with her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Joan would never miss sending a card for a birthday or any other special occasion. And she absolutely loved to wrap the many gifts she would have ready for her next visitor.

Joan was forever giving, caring, and loving in so many ways. She always looked forward to sharing a chat on the phone with all of her loved ones.
