Joan M. Albright, 92, of Lebanon, PA, passed away on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at Cedar Haven Nursing Home. She was the wife of the late Isaac H. Albright, to whom she was married for almost 70 years.

Born in Lebanon, PA, on April 25, 1933, Joan was a daughter of the late Donald and Marie (Fritz) Kirkwood. She was a graduate of Lebanon High School. Joan was a devoted member of the Church of St. Cecilia, where she was very active in church functions and the beloved donut sales.

She especially loved spending time in the kitchen, cooking for her family and delighting them with her homemade baked goods and hand-crafted candies. Joan also cherished roller and ice skating, and she and her late husband shared a special joy in polka dancing together, creating memories full of laughter, music, and movement.

Joan is survived by her children, Debra Chipperfield, Thomas Albright, and Ann Marie Sliver; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; great-great-grandchild, Genesis; and nieces and nephews. She was the last of her immediate family. She was preceded in death by her sons, David and Dennis Albright.
