She attended elementary school at Sacred Heart in Cornlea and graduated from Humphrey High School in 1965. Joan married Kenneth “Kenny” Frisch on Oct. 4, 1969, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Lindsay, Neb. Joan and Kenny lived on a farm by Cornlea, where they raised their four children.

Joan was strong in her faith and enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed reading, crocheting hot pads, gardening, collecting dolls, and babysitting her great nieces and nephews. Her greatest joy in the last years was her beloved grandson Andy, who lived with her for the last 10 years.
