Joan Guerrieri

Joan Guerrieri, 91, of Girard, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 17th, 2026, at Liberty Healthcare with her family by her side.

Joan was born on June 15, 1934, a daughter of Anthony and Anna (Kulin) Tascione.

She graduated from Girard High School in 1952, and was a lifelong member of St. Rose Church.

Joan worked for Miller's Flowers and The Flower Basket, but for most of her life she was dedicated to her family. She embraced this role and created a home filled with warmth, comfort, and memories for a lifetime. She always prayed for one more day to be able to watch her family grow and shower them with love. She was very active in her community as a member of the Junior Women's Club, the Catholic Women's Club, and her Card Club, in which she was a member for over 50 years with her friends.

Making things beautiful, especially her home, was how Joan loved to spend her free time. She enjoyed interior decorating and gardening, and was very talented with needle and thread. She spent many hours making rosaries for the church which were then passed on to the missions. Joan had a way of making everyone feel special through extra touches and small details. Cards and gifts were chosen with intention and given with much love.

She leaves to cherish her memory her loving husband of 69 years, Robert "Bob" Guerrieri, whom she married on September 15, 1956; their children, William "Bill" (Marion) Guerrieri, Anthony (Tina) Guerrieri, Thomas (Linda) Guerrieri, John (Amy) Guerrieri, Michael (Michelle) Guerrieri, and JoMarie (Jim) Jones; and sisters, Annette (Paul) Tamburrino and Diane (Bob) Forte. She also leaves behind 21 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren, with 2 more on the way.

Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her son, Robert Guerrieri Jr., and sisters, Marie “Dolly” Vivalo and Cindy Sweeney.

A Memorial Mass will be held in Joan's honor on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, at St. Rose Church in Girard, starting at 11:00AM.

The family asks that any monetary contributions be made to the St. Rose Church Memorial Fund or Angel Fund for St. Rose School.
