Joan Denise (Stribling) Redmon was born on August 24, 1954 to the late Joe Andrew Dennis and Ruth Jeanette Stribling.  Joan was preceded in death by her parents, step-father Harry Young and sister, Eardel Timmons.

 

Joan accepted Christ at an early age and truly loved the Lord.

 

Joan was born in Detroit, however, as a young child, she lived in Mississippi.  Later in her childhood, she returned to Detroit and was educated in the Detroit Public School System, graduating from Mackenzie High School in 1972.  After graduation, she went on to attend Lewis College of Business.

 

Joan later met Ronald Redmon and after their courtship, they were united in holy matrimony.  While they were only married for seven years, they had been acquainted for many more years.

 

Joan was a hard worker with very good work ethics.  If she was going to do something, she did it to the best of her ability.  Joan loved life and recorded all of her life’s experiences and special moments in a day by day journal for over 30 years.

 

Joan prided herself in being a wife, mothr, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.  Ensuring that her family had everything they needed was her top priority.  She would even do it for extended family and friends.  Always willing to help no matter what the situation.

 

Along with all of her domesticated abilities, she also took pride in her yard, which was always well kept she trimmed her own bushes, had beautiful flowers and always had a garden.

 

Joan’s love for her family ran deep.  She knew everybody she as kin to and wanted to educate you, so you too would know how you were related to everybody.  Half the family still does not know all the relatives that Joan knew, but that did not stop her from telling you every time she saw you or found something out.  The same love she had for her family, she also had for her pets.

 

On Sunday, January 30, 2022, Joan’s friendly and loving spirit departed this life and went home to be with the Lord.
