Joan Ann Desimone, 87, went home to meet the Lord on September 6, 2021. Joan was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and dear friend to many.

She continued to share that love and support with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Joan was very involved at St. Daniel Church throughout the years. In her later years, she and her husband Mike, moved to Vero Beach, Florida where she volunteered at St. Helen’s Church.
