She was a long-time member of the skating community as a singles, pairs, dance and synchro judge and active member of Peninsula SC, at one time serving as our Treasurer. She is survived by her three daughters, Molly, Julie and Katie. Joan was always ready and willing to judge because she enjoyed watching and supporting young skaters. She will be truly missed.
