She was on the basketball court playing basketball when someone through the ball and it hit her in the head. She walked off the court and never played basketball again.

Joan was an active and faithful member at The Fifth Street Baptist Church, and she also loved her church family. She also song in the choir in her earlier years and served on the Board of Trustees. Her late husband, Daniel Wilson also join Fifth Street Baptist Church to be with his wife in worship. When her health begins to fail during the pandemic, she became a faithful listener of church services by phone.
