Joan Barone was welcomed into her heavenly home on April 5, 2024. Joan was born May 7, 1941 in Riverside, NJ and blessed this Earth for almost 83 years. The last 35 of those years were spent in her happy places between New Port Richey and Sarasota, Florida. She lived life to the absolute fullest. She loved to travel, she loved to shop, she was a card shark who rarely lost a hand, and she made the absolute best meatballs and chocolate chip cookies that will never be matched. Joan was absolutely the best Mother and Grandmother and her children and grandchildren were all richly blessed to have had her in each of their lives. Above all else, Joan loved her family dearly, and she left a long list of people who will miss her immensely.
