Joan had a passion for health and physical fitness throughout her life. She was an avid competitor in golf, tennis, and swimming; was sporty, stylish, and perfected the art of conversation and friendship.

Joan was a Manlius, NY and Tequesta, FL resident and is survived by her husband of 64 years, Dr. Frederick E. Dever; daughter, Jeanne Dever Hudson of New Milford, CT; son, Frederick Jr. (Dr. Eric Czander) of Washington, D.C.; grandsons, Drew Hudson of New Milford, CT, Ryan Hudson of Liverpool, NY; and brother, John Morris (Carla Morris) of Jupiter, FL.
