Joan and Louis, who were married

Joan was an unassuming and kind presence while Louis was devoted
to her. Protective of one another, they treasured their privacy
yet nonetheless reveled in the company of their many family
members, friends, and neighbors. It was not uncommon to see Joan
and Louis planning meals in their kitchen, and enjoying one
another's company. Joan's passions included cooking for
her family and friends, and gardening. She was a loving and
supportive wife, a wonderful mother and stepmother, sister,
sister-in-law, and aunt to seventeen nieces and nephews.

daughter of the late Rose and Milton Zuckerman. She was
predeceased by her first husband, Dr. Roy Fuhrman DDS.
