Cooking was one of her joys and could cook a roast like no other. Joan was an animal lover. Her own dog "Bitsy" always received extra care and attention. She also had a cat named "Kitty" whom she rescued from the adjacent field. Joan trained him to sleep with her on her bed at night. Joan was an avid lover of the plumeria plant. She would share with others; a statement of her selflessness "Always Others First." That was Joan's motto in life. On December 20, 2020, Joan Louise Nelson passed away. Joan leaves to cherish her memory husband: Howard, 1 son: Dwayne Martin Dickerson, 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren, dear and loving cousin: James Leuenberger and his "partner in crime" Charles "Chuck" Stanton who Joan spent numerous years vacationing with.
