Joan was born to Marjorie (Messner) and Hans Cluss on September 22, 1949 in Philadelphia where she resided her entire life. After graduating from Kensington High School In 1967, She worked briefly but dedicated her life to the service of her family becoming the caretaker of her parents and settling in Port Richmond. She herself enjoyed her coffee and cream donuts, reading and puzzles, spending time with family and friends, cheering for the hometown Phillies and Eagles, and going on daily long walks with friends, family, and her great nephew pup Macky. No one kept a cleaner house, folded laundry, made a bed, or could clean clothes quite like her. She will be remembered by those who loved her as a simple woman, with a giving heart, caring smile, and genuinely kind nature who took no nonsense, but gave you everything she had. Her kindhearted spirit and gentle soul will be missed by all who loved her.

Her four nieces Amanda Stephenson (Sean), Jennifer Cluss, Dana Brennan (Michael) and Judith Wadell (Kyle) and seven great nieces and nephews including her four great nieces Brea and Julia Brennan and Madelynn and Reese Stephenson whom she devoted so much of her time to in the last years of her life.
