SALISBURY — Joan Tuncy, 92, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2026, at Noble Horizons.
Born on Oct. 27, 1933, in Sharon, Connecticut, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Vera Bejean.
Joan made her home on Indian Mountain Road for more than 40 years, where she found great joy in the natural beauty around her. She especially loved spending time outdoors and watching the wildlife that visited her backyard.
She worked for several years with a New York telephone company as a switch board operator and later served as a house manager for a number of local homes. During that time, she adopted a beloved dog, Nippy, who became a cherished companion.
An avid reader, Joan had a deep love of books and took great pleasure in buying and selling them throughout her life. She also enjoyed photography, antique shopping, and writing.
She is survived by her cousins, Don Hosier and his wife, Melissa; and Gregg Hosier.
