She was the first woman to have a dissertation published at the Vatican in which she argued both sides of virtue. Joan lost a son, John William Conlon III shortly after his birth due to heart issues, as well as the love of her life, John William Conlon, Jr., in 2014 after 51 years of marriage. Together this couple, madly in love set off on an adventure together. Joan was VP of her and her late husband's manufacturing company. Joan was an active political volunteer as well as in the community, helping those less fortunate. Joan's eldest twin daughters were born with learning disabilities. Joan was a trail blazer in the public school system in CT to better serve those with disabilities. Joan made this world a better place. Her laughter, fascinating and hysterical stories, zest for life, extensive vocabulary, imagination, and class made her a true original. She is missed already and will remain so as she is celebrated for all she has accomplished and pioneered. We love you more than anything, Mom.

He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He knew that you were suffering. He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered 'peace is thine.' He put His arms around you and He lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches could make a lane, we'd walk a path to Heaven and bring you home again.
