June 17, 1952 – November 8, 2022

Mass of Christian Burial will be 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sauk Rapids for Joan M.

Joan Marie Hall was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota to the late Edmund and Irene (Kujawa) Theis on June 17, 1952. She met her future husband Robert (Bob) Hall on a blind date and they were married on November 16, 1974.

Joan started her professional career as a telephone operator for Northwestern Bell. When that job became obsolete, she worked for Herberger’s, was a paraprofessional for the St. Cloud School District, and later an administrative assistant at St. Cloud Vocational School.

Joan had a beautiful, sweet, calming personality. She enjoyed good conversation over a cup of coffee, and a chocolate dessert, or a glass of wine. Joan loved entertaining. For years Bob and Joan hosted the annual Theis family Christmas celebration followed by a get together for friends. She spent hours decorating their house and baking lots of goodies. Joan loved shopping (especially with her sisters), scrapbooking, gardening, reading, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. For several years she was a Cub Scout mom.

Forever holding her in their hearts are: her husband of 48 years, Bob; son, Adam; sisters and brother: Mary Kay Theis; Victoria (Vicki) Theis; Thomas (Michelle) Theis; Marcia (Cliff) Teigen; dog Lucy; several nieces and nephews and many friends.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to St. Croix Hospice, especially Annie and Audra, for the exceptional care allowing them to grant Joan’s wish of dying at home.

Memorials preferred to the Poor Clares Monastery.

To family and friends of Joan,
Joan was a gem to the core! She was an administrative assistant to me at the St. Cloud Technical School…and quickly became a friend after I left.
She was always quick to help me with projects to help our team be efficient. Always with a grateful heart.
I will miss her!
May you find peace and comfort in the days ahead as you celebrate her wonderful life and treasure all of the memories!

Bob and Adam. So sorry to hear about Joan. She was such a lovely person. I am lucky she considered me a friend. Giving. Always smiling. Ready with that great laugh of hers. She loved to go to the Zonta House, “kids” movies at Parkwood (we loved to laugh at all the corny jokes, the wine helped!), Art Crawls – and so many more great memories. I am blessed that I met Joan at the college. May she rest in peace. And my sincere sympathies for your loss. Hugs
