Joan Leverne (Atchley) Dailing, a loving wife, mother and grandmother passed away January 10, 2024 at the age of 79. She went to be with the Lord peacefully in her Highlands home with her daughter near her. She was born September 21, 1944 in Honobia, Oklahoma to her late parents, Roy Benjamin Atchley and Jo Ella Allen Atchley.
Joan was the most loving, caring and selfless woman and always quick with an infectious laugh.
In her younger years she taught Sunday school at the family church and sang in the church choir where the beginnings of singing in front of an audience started. She was also a naturally good driver as during her first marriage she won second place in the powder puff Derby that she did not even know she was going to enter, driving their own car!
She had a great head for business. She had a successful singing career, recorded two records and was asked to tour with The Wilburn Brothers but chose to stay close and raise her child Sherry Ann McKeegan. Later in life she and her husband Leo David Dailing opened a neighborhood store, that was needed, and prospered, then when they moved, opened a tavern. However, her greatest joy was in her family, close and extended. She delighted in doing for others and always tried to think of ways to surprise them or think of what they might need. She helped everyone she could, she always made time to listen to anyone who needed to talk. A truly loving and caring person she will be sorely missed.
