Joan was born May 24, 1934, to Huey and Agnes Frederick of Hackleburg, Alabama.
Mrs. Carden’s early years of employment included Purina Foods Checkerboard Square and Viviane Woodard Cosmetics as a distributer. Later after marriage she spent her time as a full-time mother and homemaker. She spent her time raising her three sons. She also managed the family’s rental homes. She enjoyed visiting with her tenants and became involved in their lives. She never met a stranger and liked everyone regardless of where they came from. She also did not have a problem giving you her opinion whether it be good or bad. She also loved watching Alabama football.
She was honest, trustworthy, fun-loving and a gem of a mother and lady. She was spirited, spunky and unafraid. She touched the lives of many, many people. She loved her children and her grandchildren and always made sure that they knew she loved them unconditionally.
