Joan was baptized into the Episcopal faith early in her life and in 1974, became a member of Riverton’s St. James Episcopal Church. She served as a Lay Eucharistic Minister, Worship Leader, also serving six terms on the Vestry. She was a mentor for the Education for Ministry from University of South Swania, as well as a leader in the Happening Christian Experience. She was deeply spiritual and shared that connection with all she encountered.
On April 21, 1968, she married James Fredrick Voss in Cody, WY. They moved frequently due to Jim’s military service, including Memphis, TN, Sedro Woolley, WA, and then on to Denver, CO.

Joan was deeply loving; our model mother figure. She enjoyed traveling, fishing and camping; teaching us all the tricks, knitting and baking, with her Granddaughter especially, reading, gardening, and overall, spending time with her family. She loved music and singing, movies and great food, and with it all, a full-on belly laugh anyone who knew her would recognize and remember.
