Joan Agnes Brunner

May 23, 1929 — June 21, 2025


  • Joan Brunner peacefully entered into eternal rest on June 21, 2025. Joan was born in NYC as Joan
  • Weigle in 1929. Joan worked at the RCA building before it became the Rockefeller Center. She met
  • Charles Brunner, her future husband, during the 1940s. After Charles returned from service in the
  • Korean War, they were married, and moved to Whippany NJ, where they had 3 children. From 1953 to
  • 2005, Joan was a homemaker, while working part-time as a bank assistant. Joan was a devout Catholic
  • for her entire life, and served many years as a Eucharistic minister at Our Lady of Mercy Church. Joan
  • also was a volunteer in the gift shop at Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morris Township. In 2005, Charles
  • and Joan moved to the east coast of Florida. They spent the next 8 years there, enjoying time in the sun,
  • and spending quality time with Charles’ brother and his wife. During that time, Joan was a volunteer at
  • the VNA Hospice Thrift Store in Vero Beach. In 2013, they moved to a quiet residence in the Sacramento
  • CA area, living close to their daughter Kathy. Charles passed away in 2016, and is interred in the
  • Sacramento Valley National Cemetery (Dixon, CA). Shortly after Charles’ passing, Joan sold their
  • residence, and lived happily with Kathy and her husband until her passing. Joan spoke and wrote often
  • with family and friends, and enjoyed playing Mahjong, cards, board games, and sipping an evening
  • Chardonnay. Joan will be remembered as a kind, generous and caring soul, always eager to listen,
  • always there to help, and always there to offer a shoulder to cry on when needed.

  • Joan is survived by her son Jeffrey and wife Kathy, daughter Kathy and husband Marvin, daughter Susan,
  • grand-daughter Victoria, grandson Christopher and wife Sarai, great-grandson Camden and great grand-
  • daughter Sophie. A memorial service and interment will ultimately be held in the Sacramento Valley
  • National Cemetery in Dixon CA, where she will spend eternity with her husband Charles.

  • In memory of Joan, donations may be made to Snowline Hospice at 6520 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond
  • Springs, CA 95619 (website is SnowlineHealth.org).
