Joan Maxine Hendricks, 80, a 40 year resident of the Harbor, died at her home in Aberdeen Tuesday, October 9, 2018. She was born in Markham, WA, February 27, 1938, the daughter of William Mathias and Blanche May (Sisk) Beavers. The family had lived in Sumner, Puyallup and Minnesota before she returned to the Harbor.
She married Lane Gordon Hendricks in Montesano in 1985. He passed away in Aberdeen December 26, 2006.
Joan had worked as a cook at Harbor Convalescent Center, South Aberdeen and a house keeper at the Iron Springs Resort, Copalis Beach, all the while being a homemaker and raising five kids.
She had been a member of the River of Life Church, South Aberdeen.
Joan loved to play slow-pitch baseball and was the pitcher on the Reiner’s slow-pitch team. She also liked to play pool and shuffleboard, go clam digging and camping. She and Lane were snowbirds for several years in Yuma, AZ. They played card games: pinochle, Skipbo, Cribbage and Uno among others. But most of all she enjoyed the annual family reunions at McCleary.
