Joan Zeppo

Joan Zeppo, born on March 27, 1931, passed peacefully in her sleep on March 8, 2026, at the age of nearly 95. A woman of classic style, quiet strength, and steadfast integrity, she lived each day with purpose and deep devotion to her faith and family.

Together with her beloved husband, Joseph “Joe” Zeppo, she helped build a successful local furniture business that grew from a family dream into a thriving, still family-owned enterprise. Her dedication and strong work ethic remained evident as she continued working there until the age of 91. Their 75-year marriage was the heart of her world, marked by enduring love, partnership, and joyful memories of dancing together. Joe’s passing two years earlier left a void that only their reunion in eternal peace could fill.

Joan cherished her earlier years spent golfing and gardening, and she lived with intention, caring for both body and spirit. A longtime member of Abundant Life Church, her Christian faith guided her with gratitude, humility, and compassion. Above all, she treasured her family, offering wisdom, encouragement, and a steady presence across every generation.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 75 years, Joseph Zeppo; her parents, Frank Oleskiewicz and Antoinette Belniak Oleskiewicz; eight brothers; and one sister. Joan is survived by her three children, Philip (Sharyn) Zeppo of Concord, OH, Sandi (George) Yezbak of Mocksville, NC, and David (Tina) Zeppo of Uniontown, PA; grandchildren Nicole Zeppo, Tania (Michael) Bertolone, and Tania Wargo; great-grandchildren Tyler Rice, EJ Barbosa, Zach Zeppo, and Giada Bertolone; her beloved brother Leonard Oleskiewicz; and many special nieces and nephews.
