Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Joan Louise (Young) Tyson passed away peacefully on the evening of Tuesday, July 9th after a long illness. Joan was born on December 28, 1935, in Johnstown, Colorado to Beryl (Gardner) and Frank Young.
During her childhood and teenage years, she followed her parents to various locales in the United States and Canada as her father worked in the sugar industry. In the early fifties she settled in Fellsmere where she graduated from high school at the old Fellsmere School. It was in Fellsmere that she met the love of her life, Cliff Tyson. They were married on December 21, 1955, and then raised two children, son Keith and daughter Laurie.
Joan worked for a short time at the South Puerto Rico Sugar Company in Fellsmere before taking a job with the U.S. Postal Service. She retired from the USPS in 2000 and enjoyed her retirement at the family home in Fellsmere, prior to coming to live with her son and daughter in-law Doris. She will be sorely missed.
She was predeceased by her infant sister, her husband Cliff, and her parents Beryl and Frank Young. She is survived by her son, Keith (Doris); daughter, Laurie; grandson, Drew (Anjali) and beloved cat, Bob. There will be no service.
She asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Shiloh Youth Ranch, 10655 Roseland Road, Sebastian, Fl 32958 in her and Cliff’s honor.

Joan was a very special and beautiful lady. I truly enjoyed working with her at the “main” post office in the 80’s to 90’s. She had taught me her position doing Business Reply before taking on timekeeper. Joan would stop in and say hi to me at Citrus Ridge later in the years. It was a great pleasure to have known her. She will be missed by many. My deepest condolences go out to her family and friends.

I spent the very first two days of my employment at the USPS in a tiny room that was Joan’s office, she was first the person I had the pleasure of meeting at my new job. And what a joy it was! I was to read employee manuals pertaining to my new job. I immediately found it to be more entertaining & delightful to have conversations with Joan. On that day I found her to be a sincere, caring person just as I found her to be on her last day in 2000. She was just a down to earth good person. I know she will be immensely missed by ALL the people that she has ever touched.
