Obituary
Joan Louise Moxon, 66, died Saturday,
December 23 after a brief but valiant battle against
Lymphoma. She was the youngest daughter of the late
Howard Kirby Keys and Elinor Morrison Keys. Joan was
born March 14, 1951 in Champaign, Illinois and grew
up on the family farm in Beason, Illinois. She
graduated from Beason High school and received a BA
in Art Education from Illinois State University.
Joan was a passionate, delightful and dedicated Art
Teacher in the public school system in Illinois and
at Front Range Christian School in Littleton,
Colorado for many years and was known for her
creativity in leading the Annual Front Range
Christian Elementary Art Show each year in the
children's section of the Jefferson County Public
Library in Columbine. Joan delighted in opening the
eyes of young people to the creative arts and would
simply say, “Children’s art is delightful. I am
teaching because I am called to teach.” Joan was
also a gifted and talented artist in all media; oil,
water color, ceramics and stained glass. During her
life she was awarded multiple awards in juried art
shows and completed a number of commissioned pieces
for various organizations and individuals.
In addition to her creative visual art, Joan was
also an accomplished musician, playing Piano,
Keyboard, Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo and Flute as well
as a singer and songwriter.
Joan was an amazing woman of God who touched so many
lives for Jesus in so many ways. She was passionate
and vocal about her faith, and was known as a
faithful and valiant “prayer warrior” for any needs
brought to her. The struggles she endured throughout
her own life gave her a special humility and empathy
with others. She is now free of the trials of this
earthly world and is at peace in her true home and
joins those who have gone before her.
Joan was married to James R. Moxon, on February 14,
1987, and they resided together in Littleton, CO.
Joan is survived by her husband James Moxon, of the
home and children Tara Moxon of Littleton and Justin
(Jessica) Moxon of Denver. She is also survived by
“the apple of her eye” 5 year old granddaughter,
Addison Moxon, with whom she had a special bond.
Additionally she is survived by her mother, Elinor
Keys, and sisters Mary Johnson of Chula Vista,
California and Rebecca (Robert) Blake of Mt. Airy,
North Carolina.
Also left to cherish her memory are
numerous in-laws nieces, nephews, and cousins. |
