Joan was born September 27, 1933, in Sand Creek, Wisconsin, the daughter of Norval and Mildred (Warner) Blyton. Joan married the love of her life, Philip Kastner on August 18, 1951, in Chicago, IL and the couple enjoyed 68 years of marriage before his passing in 2020. In 1968, Joan and Phil moved to Mauston, Wisconsin where they continued to enjoy raising their family on their farm. There were many large celebrations with family and friends at "the farm". Joan's kitchen was a place where everyone was welcome, and their home was a gathering place for their family where many joyous Christmas holidays were spent together. Many family memories were made at their loving home. Joan was loved by many and made many friends in her long life.  In her final years, her caregivers loved her too, considering her as much a friend as a patient.  She will be missed by many.

Joan is survived by her sons, Philip "Skip" (Lynne) Kastner, Mark (Shari) Kastner; daughter, Sherrie (Don) Palm; daughter-in-law, Teresa Kastner; 7 grandchildren, Jason, Brenda, Erik, Brian, Brad, Nicolas, Mariah and numerous great grandchildren. She is also survived by nieces, nephews, as well as other relatives and many friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Philip and son, Robert.
