JOAN MABE Obituary

Joan Ann Curtin Mabe, age 69, of Whitwell, Tennessee passed away on December 14, 2022. Joan was born on February 17, 1953, to her loving parents Jerome Curtin and Margaret Stella (Bryan) Curtin. Throughout the years, she worked at several local companies until an illness forced her to retire in October of 2013. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and aunt. Although, she got her greatest enjoyment from spending time with her family and friends, she enjoyed the peacefulness of a beautiful sunrise, doing puzzle books, watching her favorite westerns and nostalgic shows, cooking, and tending to her many animals over the years.

Curtin and Clyde Curtin.

Curtin of Upper Marlboro, MD and Barbara Baboolal of North Beach, MD; dear friend: Dee Watson; along with a host of nieces, nephews, additional family and friends. 
Honorary pallbearers include: Paul Levan, Jr., Danny Mabe, Michael Greene, Stephen Nunley, Cameron Cash, and Mason Mabe.
