of Marcellus
Joan Elizabeth DeCrick, at the age of 75, passed away on July 3, 2017. Joan was born in Mattawan on November 11, 1941. She was the daughter of the late Margie and Marie (Geissel) Masten. Joan was a loving, caring and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was a special spirit that we were all blessed to have in our lives. She had so much love in her heart and shared it with whomever she came into contact with. Joan was a humble woman that would do anything for those she loved and never needed more than a smile or thank you. In the last part of her life in the face of unbearable pain, she taught us strength with a smile on her face and love for all of us. On December 18, 1965, she married the love of her life, James David DeCrick who preceded her in death on May 4, 2017. Surviving are three sons: James L. (Angel) DeCrick of Lawton, Sean DeCrick of Marcellus, Brian DeCrick of Marcellus; stepdaughter: Julie Imerzel of Galesburg; eight grandchildren: Toni (Roy) Larson, Jamie DeCrick, Lauren DeCrick, Jacob DeCrick, Landin DeCrick, Joshua Clark, Channon Clark and Bree (Mitchell) Thomas; seven great-grandchildren; siblings: Carol (David) Frank, Vern Masten, Kathleen (John Sr.) Thrasher, Norm (Janet) Masten, Linda Hunt, Terry (John) Brannum, Judy Masten, Sharon Masten and numerous extended family and friends. Joan was preceded in death by a son David Scott DeCrick; by four siblings Ethelyn Masten, Darrel Masten, Delbert Masten and Bonnie Grewett.
