Joan Duncan Flowers

Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Joan Duncan Flowers, passed away October 21, 2009 after a much too short battle with cancer.

Joan was born January 18, 1947 to Frank R. and Betty J. Duncan. She graduated from the University of Utah. While at the U, she met and later married her love Michael C. Flowers on November 21, 1969 in the Salt Lake Temple. Joan and Mike raised five children who with her husband were the focus of her life. Joan never missed a game or event of her children's if she could help it.

Education was an important part of her life. She worked as a teacher for a couple of years for Granite School District, and for several years as a substitute teacher for the School of the Deaf. She was also a teacher for Learning Technics.

She leaves behind her loving husband Mike, her sons Brice (Laura), Kirk (Cambria), and Danny, her daughters Shannon (Corey Benson) and Chelsey (Brice Given), her brother Scott Duncan (Cathy), and nine wonderful grandchildren whom she adored.
