She was born on July 16, 1932 to Edward and Helen (Stolarski) Bialorucki in Toledo, Ohio. Joan was employed at Gladieux Catering and later at The Hilton Hotel where she was in the catering division. While at the Hilton, she was the recipient of an Employee of the Year award and won a trip to Disney. She also volunteered at the Medical College of Ohio. Joan’s family was always her first priority. She loved to read, travel, play the slots and cook. Her traditional Polish holiday celebrations were always perfect. She was very helpful and generous to anyone in need.
