Joan was born on February 6, 1940 in Beaman Township, Iowa to her parents Gratus and Dena Nederhoff. Joan lived in Wellsburg most of her life. She graduated from Wellsburg High School. Joan was united in marriage to John “Bill” Winger on August 14, 1964 in Eldora, Iowa. She and her husband lived briefly in Davenport and Waterloo, Iowa. However, they soon settled in Wellsburg to live and raise their family. Joan worked for Potgieter’s Elevator and Grain which then became Snittjer Grain Company. She worked there as a secretary for 44 years until her declining health necessitated her retirement.
