| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Thursday, January 5, 2017 <<< >>> Dec. 3, 1942 — Dec. 30, 2016 <<< Joan Blackhall, 74, a resident of Lake Havasu City, passed away at home Dec. 30. Joan was born in 1942 in Cleveland and grew up on a farm in the rural village of Grafton. She married Charles Miller and had two daughters, Heather and Holly. The family moved to Havasu in 1984. Joan divorced and remarried in 1995 and relocated to Harrah, Okla. She recently returned to Havasu after retiring from a long career as a lab technician and registered phlebotomist. Joan was preceded in death by her parents, Stewart and Helen Blackhall. She is survived by her brother Stewart Blackhall Jr., her two daughters and two grandsons, Devon and Cash. Joan was fun-loving, outgoing and young at heart. She lived and loved to the fullest and had an adventurous spirit. She was intelligent, witty and a voracious reader. She connected with many other Blackhalls on a Facebook genealogy page and thrilled at the Highland Games, bagpipes and all things Scottish. She enjoyed craft beers and good food and loved to travel. She often explored the desert watching for a glimpse of her beloved hawks and picking up interesting rocks. Joan danced to the beat of her own drum and her friendly, open personality drew people to her. She was kind and loyal and a friend to all. She will be sorely missed. A celebration of life will be scheduled in the near future. For more information on that and/or to express thoughts and condolences, email heatherlea213@hotmail.com or azblondie5150@gmail.com. |
