Joan Fay Koerner, Clarks Summit, died Friday evening at Regional Hospital of Scranton. She was the wife of the late Roger Koerner, who died in 1999. She resided with her granddaughter, Christine.
Born in Clifford Twp., she was the daughter of the late Edward and Jessie Thompkins Owens and the late Raymond Tuttle. She was a 1950 graduate of Harford High School and prior to her marriage, she was the telephone operator for Clifford Twp.
She was a member of the Countryside Community Church, where she sang in the choir and Juanita Chapter No. 8 and Order of the Eastern Star. She enjoyed the Thursday's Widow Club. She loved playing the piano, organ, bowling, crocheting, cooking and square dancing, where she met her husband Roger. But her greatest pleasure in life was her family, especially her two-year-old great-granddaughter, Kyrsten, whom she enjoyed reading books with and watching cartoons.
Joan was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who will be dearly missed by all that knew her. The family would like to express its deepest gratitude to Dr. J. Bruce Ruppenthal and Dr. Wilcox for her care.
Surviving are a daughter, Lori Raker and her husband, Warren, Clarks Summit; a son, Charles R., Old Forge; a stepsister, Lorraine Tuttle Snyder, Binghamton, N.Y.; six grandchildren, Christine, Timothy, Josh, Shannon, David and Susan; five great-grandchildren, with Kyrsten, her youngest; several nieces and nephews.
She was also preceded in death by two sons, Jeffery and Dale; a brother, Able Owens; sister, Alverna Resseguie; a sister-in-law, Genevieve Huggler; three brothers-in-law, Harold Huggler, George Koerner and Bill Synder.
The funeral service will be Tuesday at 10 a.m. from the Countryside Community Church, 14014 Orchard Drive, Newton Township with services by the Rev. Dr. J.P. Duncan. Interment will follow in the Newton Cemetery.
Friends may call Monday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit.
