Kiel

Mrs. Joan Lillian Kiel (nee: McCorkell) of Warrenton, MO passed away on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. She was born on February 26, 1936 in Overland, MO to the late Harry and Mildred (nee: Hardesty) McCorkell. Joan had reached the age of 87 years.

Joan was united in marriage to Gerald Kiel in 1960. This union was blessed with two children, Janet and Jim. Sadly, Gerald passed away in 1969. Joan worked various jobs over the years. She loved to do ceramics and turned that passion into a side business. That business occupied her time for many years and was a huge part of her day to day life. She also enjoyed crocheting and singing in the church choir. Joan was a very caring and nurturing woman and always took great care of others.

Joan Kiel  was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald Kiel; her parents, Harry and Mildred McCorkell; eight siblings, Mildred Crews, Betty Anthony, Harry McCorkell Jr., Violet Wilson, Bob McCorkell, Dot McCorkell, Eileen Wiese and Marian Madden.
