Joan Lillian Lackore's Obituary
Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on October 27, 2025, at the age of 94. She is now at home with her Heavenly Father.
Joan was born on June 20, 1931, in Camden, New Jersey to Lillian and Joseph Boulton. She was introduced to Vance Lackore, a sailor in the U.S. Navy, and, in her own words, they “fell madly in love.” Together, they built a beautiful life and welcomed five children.
A devoted Christian, Joan was an active member of Northside Baptist Church, where she was involved in many ministries over the years. Her faith guided every part of her life, and she found great joy in serving others and sharing God’s love.
