1929 Joan 2025

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).
