Joan M. Stoick, born June 3, 1931, to Albin and Elsie Stoick in Bellingham, Minnesota, was one of seven children. Joan married Anthony L. Bunker on August 29, 1953.

She is also survived by 33 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Joan and Tony recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a family reunion in Destin, Florida. Joan was a loving wife and mother who will be fondly remembered by all those who were lucky enough to know her. If you knew Joan, you would know these things about her… Joan was not…a lover of her walker, a lettuce eater, or a swimmer. Joan was…God fearing, humorous, sassy, holy, a world-class cook, adventurous, evangelical, charismatic, a cheerleader, a white wine connoisseur, Cheeto queen, a straight shooter, a punch-line forgetter, head rub lover, mischievous, beach lover, sun worshipper, Republican, Dr. Leonard’s moccasin wearer, turkey lover, outlaw, fun thumb wagger, card shark, gambler, Dammit Doll haver, treat hider, ambulance chaser, Adorer, gravy maker, domino player, lover of books, Fox News watcher, an ICU favorite, music savvy, Pro Lifer, no hair colorer, a Rosary sayer, a joyful soul, a caretaker, young at heart and our PRAYER GIANT. May her soul find eternal rest in our Lord Jesus. We anxiously await the day we will be reunited with her in the Kingdom of Heaven! God Bless you, Mom, Your Loving Husband and Children
