Joan was united in marriage to Allen Miller. Together they had four children, Steve, Tina, Francine, and Bud. Joan cared for her family as they grew up and worked around the home. As her children grew older, Joan worked for a few different places in the Marshalltown area at Taylor’s Maid Rite for many years before going to work for Walmart where she later retired from. Joan and Allen later divorced but she had kept in contact with his family through the years.

In her free time, Joan loved to spend time with her family. Additionally, she enjoyed crocheting, tending to her gardens and her yard, and taking trips to the casino from time to time.

Those left to remember and cherish her memory are her children, Steve Miller, Tina Miller, Francine (Jeff) Miller-Cox, and Bud (Trisha) Miller; her grandchildren, Paige (Kyle) Carnahan and Brooke Miller; seven siblings; and numerous extended family members.
