Joan's Story
After graduating I attended College of DuPage and received a BA from Northeastern Ill. U. I married Dennis Irvin in 1979 and moved to San Jose California in 1980 where I was in electronics industry in the Silicon Valley until 1989.
After my oldest son Benjamin was born in January of 1989, we moved to Atlanta Georgia to reunite with family. In 1993 my other son, Alexander was born. Dennis and I divorced in 2002.
I worked for a local Police Department for 5 yrs as a clerk of court and then as a probation officer. Leaving law enforcement I worked for a home warranty company as a customer service supervisor. I met my other half, Eddie, on a blind date set up by mutual friends 4.5 yrs ago and have now retired to Alabama and enjoy riding Harleys thru the countryside.

Life is good and we have been very blessed.
Above was updated in 2010...amazing how your life changes in 5 years.
Eddie and I got married in 2012...the same year he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He fought the brave fight until Feb. 2014. That was the hardest time of my life....but with the support and love of his wonderful sisters, brother-in-law and my sons I am going on with life again. My oldest son is still in the Navy and now stationed in the middle east. I have a wonderful daughter-in-law who is an artist and 2 grandpuppies. My younger son moved back to Alabama from California to help me after Eddie passed and is now my business partner. Thanks to them and the Good Lord life is getting good again. Never pass up the opportunity to hold your family and friends close and tell them how much you love and appreciate them. Your life can change in an instant.
