Joan M. Geoffroy, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on February 5, 2025, in Port Arthur, Texas, at the age of 90. Born on January 7, 1935, in Vinton, Louisiana, Joan devoted much of her life to her family and her profession as a medical technologist at Mid-Jefferson Hospital.

Her warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Joan’s personality shone brightly, reflecting her love for life and those around her.

Joan's family was the pride and joy of her life. She is survived by her loving daughters, Lori George of Port Neches and Nancy Hamby and her husband Garry of Nederland, and her sons, Gary Geoffroy and his wife Rhonda of Port Neches, and Craig Geoffroy and his wife Lisa of Port Neches.

Her heart swelled with joy at the sight of her great-grandchildren, Tatum Feldschau (Fiancé Peyton Proenza), Finley Abshire, Piper Bledsoe, Dylan Bledsoe, Aisen Desmond, and Sadie Desmond, whom she adored dearly.

Joan was known for her light-hearted spirit and enjoyed leisure time playing the slots, creating cherished memories with family and friends. Above all, her proudest accomplishments were the strong bonds she nurtured with her family—fostering a loving home filled with laughter and support.
