Joan Ann Sheridan began her journey to our lord on February 13, 2025, at Riverview Healthcare Center in Flandreau, SD. With her husband, the love her life, by her bedside.
Joan was born on Aug. 16, 1931, to Lucille (Marvlet) and Delbert W. Parsley in Moody County, South Dakota. She attended Tidd Country School up until 8th grade. Then going on to graduate from Flandreau High School in 1949.
On June 2, 1949, shortly after graduating, Joan was wed to her first husband John Robert Ullom. John and Joan were blessed with 11 children: seven girls and four boys. The family farmed in northern Moody County. John passed away on June 6, 1978.
Joan had some struggles in her early adult life. Through the grace of God and with the help of Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) she was able to overcome those struggles. Joan went on to be the Trustee of West Central AA, representing Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa. She held the Trustee title for roughly 5 years.
In 1980, while attending an AA meeting held in Flandreau, Joan met her second husband and true love Timothy Sheridan. The couple were united in marriage on November 27, 1982, at St. Williams Catholic Church in Aurora, SD.
If not off on an adventure with Tim, Joan would be found at the farm with her family. Many weekend nights were spent at the dining room table with her adult children and their spouses. The room was never quiet as jokes and smart witted comments were dealt out faster than the cards.
During her alone time Joan could be found reading a book, painting, sewing, or experimenting with a new craft. She was an avid bowler and golfer.
Her love of animals led the family to own numerous pets over the years. The most common being a black lab that would always bear the name Smokey.
