Joan was a long-time teacher in the Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic School systems, enjoying the majority of her career at St. Athanasius School, where she taught 7th and 8th grade science, math, and religion.

She is survived by her son, William "Bill" Straub, Jr. (Jenna), her son-in-law, Brent Wilson (Angela), and her six beloved grandchildren, Wes, Jake, Olivia, Ellee, Molly, and Jane.
