Joan worked for the South Shore VNA call center, for many years. A job she loved. She was an animal lover who had dogs and cats all through her life. She was briefly married to the late Paul Stockbridge, who moved her to Florida for a couple of years. As fate would have it, she would be reintroduced to the widowed Ray Landreville, by the same group of lifelong high school friends they shared. He lived in Connecticut when they started spending time together and in fact were married in a small ceremony in that house surrounded by friends and family. She was now a "stepmom" to Jeff Landreville, of Whitman, Mark and Linda Landreville, of East Bridgewater, and Shaun Landreville, of CT. They moved to Sagamore Beach, and spent many years where Ray could golf with friends and his sons, Joan loved loading their dog "Larry", a chocolate lab, into her car, and walking the beach nearby. She loved spending time with Jeff's son, Zach for sleepovers. The Landreville family would get together for big cookouts and parties, which brought both families much joy and great memories. After Ray passed, Joan moved to Whitman to be closer to family and spent a few years at Harvard Court Senior Housing. Where she made many friends. Coming full circle she recently resided at Webster Park Rehab & Healthcare Facility in Rockland. A 'stones' throw' away from one of the houses her parents lived in while she was growing up. This was as she wished. So it was fitting that Joan Marie (Ellis) Landreville, age 79, would peacefully pass on January 3, 2022.
