Departed: 08/22/2022 (Akron)

Obituary Preview: Joan Patricia Young Reiheld Beddell came into the world on January 19, 1935. She left us on August 22, 2022 after 87 busy, creative and challenging trips around the sun. For the past 20 years, she struggled with the long-term effects of two brain stem strokes, but she never lost her sass and her sense of humor. She was a 10 ½ year resident of The Merriman in Akron, followed by 1 ½ years at Timberland Ridge in Copley. Joan's daughters extend their deep gratitude to the staff for the kindness and care she received at both facilities. They loved her like one of their own. Raised in Akron by her parents Nellie Mae (Mellor) and John Arthur Young, Joan was a 1952 graduate of Garfield High School. As an only child, Joan's friends were always her extended family, and she cherished each and every one throughout her life. She loved sending and receiving cards, and rarely missed a holiday or a friend's birthday. Her marriage (1955-1971) to Richard Reiheld (1934-2013) resulted in the births of three daughters: Catherine Marjorie (b. 4/18/56, d.4/20/56), Polly Marie (b. 12/17/63) and Sophy Eleanor (b. 7/4/67). Joan is survived by Polly (John Kutuchief) and Sophy, as well as her grandchildren - Sophy's children Eleanor and William Abbott-Hall. Joan was an excellent writer and calligrapher. She adored the ornate charm of Victorian houses and rendered many beautiful drawings and notecards over the years. She collected teddy bears and believed that everyone - no matter how old - should be loved by a teddy bear! She enjoyed taking her daughters and their friends to rock concerts in the 70's and 80's. She was the cool mom! A lover of animals, art and music, Joan was artistic, creative, and very witty. Her comebacks were classic: ON SCHOOL BUS SAFETY: Joan (to a child riding her school bus): Get your arm back in the window before I have to go back and pick it up off the street! ON BEHAVING BADLY: Joan (to misbehaving kid): You're such a pain in the ass! Kid: I'm telling my Dad! Joan: Why? He already knows! ON HAVING LOTS OF CATS: Houseguest: Why do you have so many cats? Joan: Because people like you won't have any!
