Joan Elizabeth Babinat, 77, of Hudson, died Wednesday, June 27, at Covenant Medical Center of respiratory failure.

She was born April 9, 1935, in Waverly, daughter of James and Alice Driscoll Zwanziger. She married Adolph Babinat August 17, 1963, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Waverly.

Joan was raised on a farm north of Horton and attended country school graduating from Plainfield High School in 1953. She was employed by Iowa Mutual Insurance in Cedar Rapids and later with Viking Pump in Cedar Falls. She also farmed side by side with her husband.

Joan enjoyed square dancing all over the state, baking, sending cards for any occasion and visiting with her friends over coffee. Her grandsons loved her cookies and brownies and called her the cookie lady. She also loved taking care of others, putting everyone else ahead of herself. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Survivors include her husband; a daughter, Cheryl (Luther) Philpott of Waukee; two grandsons, Hunter and Tanner; and a sister, Jane (John K.) Jones of Cedar Falls.
