In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister Mary Lou Falcone, her brother Dominic P. “Cookie” Fiorentino, and half-sisters Catarina LaRocca, Patricia Wall, and Viola DeBernardi.

Surviving are her affianced soul mate, Shirley York, of Delmont; her brother, Joseph Fiorentino, of Queens; her sister, June Whitehead and husband Arthur, of Toms River, NJ; her half-sister, Rose Colcoighi, of Toms River, NJ; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, all whom she loved dearly; and her beloved cat, Lady Jane.

As a teenager, Joan loved playing volleyball, having good times at Rockaway Beach, listening to music, and singing, when she wasn’t working at “The Three J’s,” the grocery store owned by her parents in Rockaway, NY. Her parents named the business “The Three J’s” in honor of their triplets: Joseph, June, and Joan.

After graduation from Far Rockaway High School,

Joan worked for the former Bell Telephone Company in Jamaica, NY, for several years. However, having spent much time in PA with her aunt and uncle, Kathryn and Mike Porpotage, along with her grandmother Mary Zarkovich and cousins Mike, Rita (now deceased), Mary Lou, and Joe, she grew to love the area and decided to make Pennsylvania her home.

However, given her indomitable spirit, Joan decided to attend a school for the blind and was able to procure a seeing-eye dog in order to live as independently as possible. One can imagine her amazement when she was presented with Eva, her seeing-eye dog with the same name as her mother! Joan loved Eva, and they were

able to spend many years side-by-side, allowing Joan to live independently in her beautiful home in Delmont.
