On September 14, 1947, she married Robert Klemesrud in Bethany, Missouri. They were married 67 years and lived on their farm north of Rudd while they raised their family. Joan was kept busy making meals and taking her five children to all of their activities.
Joan was a member of Rock Creek Lutheran Church and served a variety of offices with the Rock Creek Church Women and directed the ladies’ chorus. She was a great cook and also enjoyed music and singing, crafts like crocheting and painting, writing poetry, crossword puzzles, bowling, fishing and in later years Facebook. She was always ready to play cards or a game.
