Joan M (Hughes) Foley, 93
January 8, 1928 ~ December 31, 2021
Joan M Foley was born January 8th, 1928 to Chuck & Nellie Hughes of rural Walnut, Iowa. She graduated from Atlantic, Iowa High School and moved to Omaha, Nebraska where she worked for Union Pacific. She enjoyed talking about the train trips she was able to take with her friends while working for the railroad.
She married John R. Foley on June 26, 1954 in Atlantic, Iowa. They settled in on the farm south of Blair where they spent 58 years lovingly raising 9 children, 19 grandchildren, and 21 great-grandchildren, all of whom made her unbelievably happy and proud. Joan devoted her life to raising and caring for her family and in this she was a spectacular success. She taught us how to live, laugh and love. She was happy and sassy until her last hours and was trying to take care of her family until the end.
