Joan worked as a book keeper and volunteer in many capacities. She formed her own business, JMS Associates in the late 1980s which she continued to run up until just a few years ago serving several clients in Lexington and the surrounding area. She also served as the treasurer, driver, and coordinator for FISH of Lexington, a non-profit organization that drives the elderly to doctors’ appointments. She also volunteered for many years at the Concord, MA Correctional Institution in their “Kids Corner” which was for children of inmates to visit parents at the prison. Joanie also was a great friend to many who appreciated her self-described “goofy” sense of humor, sharp wit, and heart of gold.
