Joan Watson, age 88, passed away peacefully at Good Samaritan Hospice in Wexford on June 23, 2025.
Born in Ambridge, she was the daughter of the late John and Anelia Halaico and the beloved wife of the late William Watson.
An excellent cook and baker, Joan loved making delicious food for family, friends and church events. Beyond her cooking skills, she was also an excellent seamstress. She loved reading mystery books and doing crossword puzzles in her spare time.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her two sisters, Helen Burnell and Genevieve Mutz. Joan is survived by her daughter, Becky Sperduti (Ron); her stepson, Bill Watson (Judy); several nieces and nephews; and her precious granddog, Gabby.
The family extends their eternal gratitude to the exceptional team at Good Samaritan Hospice in Wexford. Their compassion, dedication, and unwavering support during Joan's final journey were a true blessing. The family is also deeply grateful for the professionalism and kindness of Economy Ambulance who assisted Joan on many occasions.
The family respects Joan's wishes that no service or gathering take place. Instead, they encourage loved ones to remember and celebrate the cherished moments.
