Obituary for Joan Q. Medlin (Quimby)
Joan Q. Medlin, age 86, passed away peacefully November 11th 2019 surrounded by her family. She was born March 22, 1933 in Quincy, MA to Maurice and Anna Quimby. She was married to the late Walter Medlin.
Joan loves to be with her family talking and sharing stories of life. When she wasn’t taking care of her children and grandchildren, you could usually find her in her sewing room making costumes for the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren or with friends playing bridge. As a long time member of the Reisterstown community she was a Lioness and a Jaycee until she and her family moved to California for a brief time following her husband for a job. Never one to appreciate the California lifestyle she got so excited to hear that the job was moving them back to her beloved Reisterstown.
Once her own children had moved and married her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren/ great grandchildren and watching them grow. She enjoyed spending time with her group of friends playing bridge, going out for dinner and going on small trips as a group. Though she will be greatly missed, we know she is happy to be reunited with her family that she has missed over the years.
Mrs. Medlin is survived by her son Paul Medlin of Edgewater, MD; son Philip Medlin of Harwood, MD; daughter Nancy Medlin of Eagle River, AK; daughter Michelle Whalan of Auckland, New Zealand; grandchildren Carrie, Jeff, Brandon, Christine, Brittaney and Sam Medlin, & Tyler, Wyatt and Guy Rohde; great grandchildren Andrew, Kendrick, Kylie, Levi and Taylor. Predeceased by husband Walter Medlin, son W. Stephen Medlin, sisters Eleanor Wood and Martha Beardsley and brother Ellis Quimby.
Family will receive friends at the Eline Funeral Home, 11824 Reisterstown Road, Reisterstown, MD on Sunday, November 17, 2019 from 1pm to 2pm. Service will begin at 2pm. Interment will be private.
