Joan Elizabeth Cason, 85, was carried home on October 26th, 2024, in Winter Park, Florida. Joan was born in Atlanta and Auburn graduate of 1959, becoming an ardent fan of Tiger football. Joan has been an active community member in Winter Park since the 1970s.
A true love for her faith and All Saints Church, Joan has fought to keep Winter Park as beautiful as the day she arrived. A teacher that demanded respect, but also gave her whole heart to her students, Joan taught at Fern Creek & Homebound Hospital for over 40 years. An eye for decor, Joan appreciated beautiful things and helped many shop for and arrange such treasures. Cooking and baking for those she loved was one of her favorite things to do and count yourself lucky if you were ever the recipient of her signature chocolate chip cookies. Sunday dinners and holiday meals at the Stanleys’ home brought her close to Kristin Harris & John Stanley, and she was always there to love them.
Joan is survived by two sisters, Carole McShea (John) of Greer, SC, Beverly C McClure (Hugh, dec.) of Columbia, SC and 6 nieces.
