Joan Catherine Hastie, 58, of Rome, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, June 1, 2022. She was born in Syracuse on Aug. 2, 1963, to Alexander L. and Jean M. Hastie.

Joanie had a wonderful presence which captivated most and touched the hearts of all who knew her. She will be fondly remembered for her sense of humor, her contagious smile, her captivating eyes and for blowing her kisses. She loved wearing hats and tall boots, going shopping and spending time one on one with those who cared for her. Her favorite days were spent outside taking walks, listening to others singing to her and listening to music, particularly James Taylor and her favorite song, “Yellow Submarine.” Joanie’s beautiful smile and her tendency to keep watch over all the comings and goings at IRA 2 will be missed by all who knew her.

Joan is survived by her siblings, who have fondly expressed their gratitude for all that have cared for her over the years, Andrew (Heidi) Hastie, John (Debra) Hastie, Karen Hookway, Pat (John) Dickerson, Jean Margaret Hastie, Beth (Jeff) Silfer and James Alexander Hastie; several nieces and nephews as well as her extended family at CNYDSO.

Calling hours will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday, June 8, 2022 with services to follow at Michael E. Brown Funeral Services, 2333 Fenner Road in Cazenovia.
