Obituary
Joan Ida (Hustedde) MoranJune 7, 1931 - February 25, 2017
The youngest of three children, Joan Moran was born on June 7, 1931, to Edward and Helen (Sydenstricker) Hustedde and left this earth on February 25, 2017, to join her beloved husband of 51 years, Joseph P. (Joe) Moran, Jr.
She grew up on the family dairy farm located at 15th and Sheridan and graduated from Marquette Catholic School. She attended Marymount College in Salina, Kansas.
Joe Moran courted her in their Tulsa hometown and from long-distance while he attended the University of Notre Dame. They married on April 22, 1950. She was the supportive wife, mother and homemaker while her husband operated the family businesses, General Sheet Metal and Jomoco Products.
Joan began a 25-year career with McGraw Realtors in 1985. Known for her personal service, acumen and integrity, many clients returned to her again and again. Joan cherished the family home for her own family and found joy in fulfilling her client-homeowners' dreams. "I knew I had helped my buyers find their new home when the wife wondered out loud where to put the Christmas tree next year."
Joan was an active volunteer with many organizations, including Christ the King Women's Club, St. Charles Guild, and Order of the Holy Sepulchre. She was best known for her time as one of the "pink ladies" of St. John's Hospital Auxiliary, serving for over four decades, including a term as president.
Joan was an avid card player, playing bridge in marathons and a number of regular groups. She was devoted to all things Notre Dame and loved travelling and cruising with her husband and dear friends.
Joan was preceded in death by: her parents, Edward and Helen Hustedde; her husband, Joseph P. Moran, Jr.; her daughter, Diane Moran Leek; and sisters, Mary Katherine Flores and Edna Cohen. She is survived by: her children, Linda Gassaway (Mike) of Waco, TX, Joe Moran III (Darcey), and Lisa Huffman (Bob) of Tulsa, Marilyn Moore of Scottsdale, AZ, and Kass Woodliff (Greg) of St. Louis, MO; son-in-law, Dan Leek of Tulsa; twelve grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
The Rosary will be said at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 3, at Fitzgerald Ivy Chapel, 14th and South Boulder. The Funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 4, at Christ the King Church. Interment will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Memorial donations may be sent to: Diocese of Tulsa Priests' Retirement Fund, Catholic Charities, Christ the King Parish, and Cascia Hall.
