Joan Mary Somjak   July 1, 1934 -Nov. 4, 2021

Gone Home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus. Preceded in death by her
beloved husband, John R. (Bob)Somjak. Loving mother to Valerie (John) Car,
John (Debbie) Somjak, Steve (Beth) Somjak, and Elaine (Scott) Rose.
Wonderful grandmother to Andrew(Aubrey) Somjak, Ashley and Stephanie Somjak,

Great-grandmother to Cordelia, Nathanael and Josiah Somjak. Loving
sister-in-law to Agnes Turchan and dear long-time neighbors and friends to
Frank and Barbara Rouland. Honorary "adopted" parent (along with her
husband) to Sister Chilee. Wonderful aunt and friend to so many (you know
who you are). Joan was a devoted wife and mother. She often acted as room
mother for her children's classrooms and den mother for her boys' scouting
troops. Friends and family felt welcome in her and Bob's home and there was
often an extra plate placed on the table for dinner. Delicious stuffed
cabbage, meatballs and gravy, pierogis and wonderful pastry desserts were
some holiday favorites, compliments of Joan's Polish cooking. She loved
spending time with her family and doted on her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. In her younger years and later in life, Joan worked at
the VA Hospital, eventually retiring  as Coordinator of the Volunteer
Department.  Well loved, admired and appreciated, Joan will be remembered
for her love of God and family, generosity, hospitality, strength and
kindness to those in need.
