Joan Ella Erickson was born June 2, 1931, in Albany, New York, the daughter of Thomas and Irma Hoffman Erickson. She married Daniel Lamar Culverson, and they made Bainbridge their home in 1981.

As a loving wife and mother, Joan provided a great example of family first. Her decisions centered around her husband and children. She often put their needs ahead of hers. Joan enjoyed cooking especially when all the seats at her table were filled with love and laughter from her family.
