Gastonia — Joan Ruth Hoffman, 89, went to be with the Lord April 7, 2022 surrounded by her family.

Joan was a humble servant of the Lord faithfully using her gift of music; beginning at the age of 18, serving as the organist at East Belmont Baptist Church and then as the organist at Sandy Plains Baptist Church for over 40 years. She also served as the Church Secretary for Sandy Plains Baptist Church for 25 years. Joan never complained; she was always positive and never had a negative word to say about anyone regardless of how she was treated and/or the circumstances.

Pallbearers will be Morgan M. Tran, Janna R. Kenney, Andrew R. Kenney, Seth A. Mathieu, Allen L. Tran and Robert M. Kenney.

Joan is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Diane Hoffman Kenney and Robert Kenney; daughter, Bobbie Hoffman Mathieu; her sister, Jean Rumfelt Robinson and her grandchildren Janna Kenney, Morgan Mathieu Tran and Allen Tran, Andrew and Kassidy Kenney and Seth Mathieu and Macy Barfield.
