Mary Joan Sundt

Mary Joan (McKenna) Sundt, age 80, of Aiken, South Carolina, formerly of Farmington, Michigan, died suddenly on June 4, 2015 at her home in Aiken.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of the late James T McKenna and Genevieve (Walter) McKenna. Mrs. Sundt graduated from Immaculata High School and Mount Mary College. Along with a distinguished career in real estate, she was a devoted wife and much-beloved mother of five, a talented and avid seamstress, and a dear friend to many.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Jerrold T Sundt of Aiken, SC, and her sister, Kathleen Norwood. Her children are Terrence (Deborah) Sundt, Mary Kay (Donald) McLemore, Gregory (Marcia) Sundt, Timothy (Marylouise) Sundt, and Daniel (Christi) Sundt. She is also survived by seventeen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Joan loved good food, Scrabble, and the Green Bay Packers, not necessarily in that order. She was an enthusiastic traveler and reader, and passed from this world with her latest novel in hand. An accomplished conversationalist, her opinions were sometimes controversial, but never in doubt. Joanie, Mom, Grandma, Joan: We love you, and we will miss you.

Memorial services are to be held at 2 PM Monday, June 8 at the Historic GEORGE FUNERAL HOME in Aiken, and at 11 AM on June 11 at Christ The Redeemer Church in Lake Orion, Michigan.
