Joan R. Alletag, age 89, of Hatfield, passed away peacefully, on Friday evening, September 20, 2024, at Peter Becker Community in Harleysville.  

Joan was preceded in death by her beloved husband Jospeh V Alletag Sr. and her son Joseph V Alletag Jr. 

She was born to James and Anna May (McElwee) DeStephen and raised in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia. 

She graduated from Little Flower High School for Girls and she began her own family in the same area before moving to Hatfeild, PA, where she and Joe spent over 50 years making memories with family and friends. Here she also worked at Hanson Textile and PM Fasteners in Harleysville. 

Joan enjoyed many things! An incredible cook she created traditions her family will never forget. The feast of the seven fishes every Christmas Eve was a very special one. 

Her family was her greatest joy and pride. She made every one of them feel loved and supported and being together was what brought her the greatest happiness. Her other great love was the beach and time spent in Cape May with everyone.

The bench on the promenade that faces off into the waves honoring both Joan & Joe will be visited by all of us as we remember her forever.
