Joan enjoyed camping and traveling throughout the United States. She was a sports fan to her children and grandchildren, where she watched her son play in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. She was also a Girl Scout troop leader and managed a girls' softball team in Colonie. Joan was an active member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Albany, where she taught Sunday School for many years.

She was the sister of Marjorie (John) Sizer and the late Arthur Ganschow. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Ora Ganschow, a niece, and many nephews.
