Joan Elsie Hibjan's Obituary
JOAN HIBJAN, AGE 93, PASSED AWAY ON MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2025. Cherished wife of the late Albert for 42 years; loving mother of Bryan (Mary Ann), and the late Bruce Hibjan; dear sister of Kenneth Melcher and the following deceased: John, Robert, Edward, and Lawrence; daughter of the late John and Margaret Melcher; grandmother of Heather (Zach), the late Nicole, Melanie (Patrick), and Lauren (Tony); great grandmother of Riley, Melody, and Freiya.
Joan will always be remembered as a woman of great grace, independence, and strength. After her husband's passing in 1994, she moved to Florida by herself where she lived the last 20 years. She loved to shop and was quite lucky at the lottery. In addition, Joan loved to cook for those she loved. Her grandchildren fondly remember her for her Slovak dishes of sausage, shish kabobs, and gholke.
