She was born in Portsmouth, VA on April 5, 1945 and grew up in the Academy Park Community on Greenwood Dr. Joan was the youngest of 9 siblings and she is predeceased by her beloved parents, Roy and Florence Pegram, as well as her second husband, Glen Vincent.

Joan had been a longtime resident at Sentara Nursing Center in Barco, NC since June 5, 2005 due to severe health issues. She was loved and adored by the Medical Staff there and was so blessed to have them and her longtime caretakers, Dana Hill and Don Carpenter, both of Virginia Beach, VA whom she considered as her own children.

Joan's sweet smile could light up a room. Her lifetime passions were her love of family, friends, children, softball, baseball (her Cubs won the World Series this year), her love of music, especially Elvis Presley, dancing and she was quite the daredevil in her younger years.

She is now in heaven with her sisters, Mozelle, Mary, Daisy; a brother, Roy Pegram; and her beloved Mommy and Daddy. She will be dearly missed by all her family and friends.
