Joan was born April 5, 1934, and grew up on a farm near South Wayne, Wisconsin. She was the daughter of Blanche (Curran) Crotty and Frank Crotty. Joan graduated from South Wayne High School. On August 20, 1955, Joan was joined in marriage to Ray Figi in a double ceremony with Joan’s sister Therese and Ray’s twin brother Roy. He preceded her in death on July 23, 2020.

Joan spent her early years in marriage as a homemaker and raising four children. She was an awesome cook and baker from which the whole community and our friends benefited. You never went hungry when you visited her kitchen. She was an excellent craftswoman. Always creating her special gifts and custom cards for siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.

In 1978 she took a job in the Housekeeping Department at the nursing home here in town.

Joan was known for her big smile, prolific whistling and friendly greeting for residents and their visitors. While keeping the facility clean and safe she always made time to interact with the residents, helping them in many ways, pausing for a moment from her work to converse with them.

Joan was a member of St. Rose of Lima Church and was very active in supporting the luncheons and receptions throughout the years providing her food and time.

Joan is survived by her three sons, Steve (Debby), Scott and Stan; her daughter, Sheila (David) Hixon; her siblings, Jimmy (JoAnne) Crotty, Betty (Art) Blum, Polly (Bernie) Whalen, Dorothy (Dale) Meyers, and Jean (Roger) Zimmerman; and sister-in-law Jane.

Joan was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Ray; brothers, Francis and John; and sisters, Anna Mae and Therese.

The family wishes to thank Agrace Hospice and close friends, Jean Paquette, Sandy Mau, and the Greg Dreessens Family.
