February 22, 1937 — November 17, 2016

Joan Marie Zervas, 79, of Minneapolis, MN, formerly of Moorhead, MN, died peacefully in home on Thursday, November 17, 2016.

Joan was born on February 22, 1937 in Moorhead, MN, to Hubert and Cecilia (Noonan) Zervas, the third of four children. She attended St. Joseph's grade school and graduated from Moorhead High School in 1955. Joan resided in Minneapolis for many years and was employed at Northern States Power Company, Bemis Company, and Larson, Allen, Weishair Law Firm.

She cherished her high school friends and the lifelong friendship they enjoyed. Joan especially loved returning to Moorhead over the years to emcee at her high school reunions and reminisce with her classmates. A woman of strong Catholic faith, Joan's kindness and humor brought out the best in everyone around her. Joan was a beloved sister and aunt who never failed to show her pride in the accomplishments of her family and friends.

Joan is survived by two sisters, Kathleen Miller of Rochester, MN, and Annella (Tom) Dosdall of Mission Viejo, CA; sister-in law, Dorothy Zervas, of St. Paul, MN; six nieces and one nephew, Kathy (Harry) McKee of Wheaton, IL, Sheila Miller of Scottsdale, AZ, Kerry (Dawn) Miller of Houston, TX, Kelly Miller of Scottsdale, AZ, Coco Miller of Scottsdale, AZ, Patti (Randy) Brunter of Los Alamitos, CA and Heidi (Todd) Hanson of Lino Lakes, MN; six great-nieces and seven great-nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Hubert and Cecilia Zervas; brother, Hubert Zervas; brother-in-law, Marvin D. Miller; and great-nephew, Nicholas Miller.

The family would like to express their sincere thanks to Jon and Sharon Grell and family, Linda Mohr, Pam Reimann, Patrick and Sandy Norton, Maureen Witt, Terry Schuhler, Dave and Kathy Rennie, Kay Teslow, and Carol Rydell for their wonderful care and compassion for Joan.
