She leaves behind cherished memories with her remaining siblings; Emma Burks, Sammy Dunaway (Leon), Dell Evans, Gussie Ann Wilhite, and Sherryl Renae Boyce. She also leaves dear memories with her aunts, Cecilia Washington and Viola Dixon. Not only was Viola an aunt to Joan, but she was also her godmother as well.
