In 1953, Joan married William Eng and moved to Roseville, MN where they raised a family and resided for over 50 years.

Joan had many interests including a love for classical music, poetry, and correspondence. She was a prolific writer who sent letters and cards to friends, family, hospitalized and homebound persons and members of the military. Joan was also a fun-loving woman who enjoyed playing cards, walking her dogs and attending Lutefisk dinners. But most of all, she was a faithful follower of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
