Dover - Joan H. Concilio, 84, of Dover Township, died April 17 at UPMC Pinnacle Memorial Hospital. She was the wife of the late Louis F. Concilio, who passed away in 1993.

Joan was born March 25, 1935, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She was a 1953 graduate of Ridley Township High School. She worked a variety of jobs throughout the years, including serving as the first female manager of a Dunkin' Donuts in New Jersey and being secretary at New Creation Community Church in Dover Township for several years. She was also a bookkeeper, bank head teller, secretary, Girl Friday or clerk at a number of companies in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including her late husband's real-estate and insurance companies, as well as Parry Coatings, Penn State Aluminum, York Bank, York Composition, the York Hospital Hospitality Shop and Triangle Printing.

Most notably, Joan owned and operated Mom's Kitchen, and later Joan's Candy Corner, at Market and Penn Farmers Market in York for many years in the 1980s and '90s.

She was a member of New Creation Community Church, where she started the Stephen Ministry program and led it for several years, and a former member of Dover Bethany United Methodist Church and Mount Royal United Methodist Church, both in Dover Township.

Re: jconcilio's mother

Thank you both so, so much. Your "grandmother" loved the work I'd put into the original Exchange. She was a longtime lurker, though she wasn't interested in posting!


Joan
I'm just here for the party.

Re: jconcilio's mother

My condolences, Joan. My thoughts go out to you.
We lost my Dad about a year ago. We are all in the same boat!


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
