Joan O'Byrne

d. October 20, 2021

Joan O’Byrne (Cranshaw) of Abington passed away peacefully on October 20, 2021, at the age of 84. Joan was born, raised, and educated in Brockton and graduated from Brockton High School. Joan worked as a waitress at various restaurants around the south shore, most notably Cristo’s in Brockton and Ted’s Place in Whitman. After retirement Joan and her husband Chris moved to Florida to enjoy the nicer weather before moving back to Abington to spend the rest of their time with their family.

Joan was a social butterfly and would spark up a conversation to anyone about anything. She was a hard worker and determined. Above all else Joan was extremely devoted to her family always making sure everyone was cared for and loved. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
