Joan Sanders

d. November 21, 2023

On Tuesday, November 21st, 2023, Joan "Joanie" Juanita Marshall Sanders, was called home to fly with the angels. The baby of 8, Joan was born in Manchester, New Hampshire on February 22, 1939, to Winifred Alice Ashley Marshall from Bristol, England, and Charles Henry Marshall from St.

Joseph, Michigan. She enjoyed a happy childhood, often smiling through stories of playing cowboys and Indians with her siblings, ice skating on winter frozen ponds, and spending time with and helping her beloved "Ma". Joan met her sweetheart, Albert "Jerry' Sanders Sr., at a roller-skating rink and married 2 months later February 24th, 1957. They had 3 children and built their life together in South Carolina in 1968.

Joan became a member of All Saints' Episcopal Church in Cayce, SC. She had a great love for God. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Being a mother was what Joan wanted to be when she grew up, and she achieved that with flying colors.

She enjoyed music, spending time with loved ones, reading, watching Westerns, and sharing her dazzling sense of humor. She flies with the angels, joining her daughter, Janet Barbara Sanders Risinger (Dan Risinger); and her husband, Albert "Jerry" Sanders Sr.

She leaves to carry on a son, Albert Jerry Sanders "Jr.", daughter Joan "Joann" Ann Sanders (Dickie Palmer, Jeff Poag, Phil Grant); 4 grandchildren, Melanie Renee Sanders; Victoria Rose Boone (Jason Lowery), Michael Joseph Areheart; Albert "AJ" Jerry Sanders III; 2 great-granddaughters, Jasmine Hailey Wiggins;

Alexis Brooklyn Wiggins; 1 great-great granddaughter, Armanie Marie Avants; and a nephew, Kevin Raymond Marshall (Angel Morales).
