Joan Patricia Ffolkes

January 25, 1940 - May 30, 2022

Joan Patricia Ffolkes, 82 of Tallahassee, passed away Monday May 30, 2022, with her loving family by her side. Joan was born on the island of Jamaica to Robert and Lena Crawford. It was there that she met and married Trevor George Ffolkes in 1960. They were married for 45 years when he died in 2005. They had two daughters and the family migrated to the United States in 1982. Joan loved the legal profession and enjoyed her work as a legal secretary until her retirement in 2015. Thus, it was no surprise that her daughters became lawyers and she was very proud of them. After her retirement, it was not unusual to find Joan in her front garden pruning her rose bushes. Joan is survived by her daughters, Francine and Brigette, her sister Marlene Wright (Aunt Blos to her daughters), and many other relatives and friends too numerous to name. There will not be a memorial service at this time. However, the family encourages donations to the Journey of Support, Alzheimer's Project, Inc., at https://alzheimersproject.org/journey-of-support/
