Joan-Ann Finneran, age 85, died on Thursday, August 4, 2016. She had lived in Brooklyn most of her life before moving to Cedar Crest Village in Pompton Plains in 2003.

Joan-Ann worked for The Hartford during her entire career. She was in their William St. office in Manhattan and worked in the Ocean Marine Division, retiring in the late 1980’s.

She was an amazing knitter and very talented at crafting beautiful sweaters for her family and friends. Everyone in the family has their own knitted specialty from Joan-Ann. She was also a devoted daughter – never leaving her widowed mother, even after getting married. She cared for her mother in her own home until the day her mother died. Joan-Ann was also the family historian, keeping track of the family tree, and she knew who all the relatives were. She enjoyed traveling to Europe as well, with her cousins Maureen and Pat. They made many good memories on those trips. She was a devoted sister to her late brother Raymond and had many nice times together before his passing in 2007.

Joan-Ann met her husband Henry in New York. They spent many summers at their vacation home in Cutchogue, on Long Island by Peconic Bay, and were very happy together. Sadly, Henry passed away in 1976, at a young age, after just ten years of marriage.

Joan-Ann is survived by her only nephew; Raymond C Austin and his wife Linda of Wayne, by her great-niece; Lauren Austin of Wayne, and by a great-nephew; Raymond Austin of Wayne.
