Joan Wells Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Joan Wells of Kankakee, Illinois, whose life came to an end on February 6, 2026 at the age of 83, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Joan farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Joan is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Ulysses Skaggs and Pearle Tetter Skaggs; and her husband Joseph Wells. She is survived by: her daughter Amy; her grandchildren, Che'Jr., Kylie, Caleb and Kaia; and her sister Sandra Sangster (Theophilus) of Aurora, CO. She is also survived by nieces and nephews.
