Joan was born September 19th 1941 on a rural Howell County farm. She lived her early life working on this farm and educating herself for life. Married in 1960 she started her family and worked at Howell Oregon Electric. As her family grew, she continued to advance and support them with owning and running a restaurant for many years, then working with the state finding jobs for the unemployed, and later she entered nursing school in her early forties and began another career helping others. Throughout this time she assured her family knew the gospel by living it every day. With retirement, she continued an ongoing service oriented life dedicated to her family and others and spent many hours volunteering with Hospice care. Always striving to glorify God in her daily actions, she was a continuous example of steady grace and dignity. She will be missed and will carry on through the many people she touched and influenced.
Graveside services for Joan Lucille Roush, will be held at 6:30 p.m., Friday, August 19, 2016 at Howell Memorial Park Cemetery, under the direction of Robertson-Drago Funeral Home.
