Joan came to the Books Gatherings in Chicago and the Isle of Palms. She'd also attended a number of the Bashes held by the groups from SeniorNet. She loved to travel and went often to France, especially Paris. She was a docent at the Art Museum in Birmingham and spoke of her love of art, history, and France often.
She was a collector of elephants, the mascot of her beloved University of Alabama. Her signature line almost always carried the crimson "Roll Tide." She was an avid supporter and was present at all the home Alabama football games she could attend.
