Joan Eisenbrey

Milford - Joan Louise Eisenbrey (Anderson), a long time Milford resident, died Saturday, September 7, 2019 at her home surrounded by family.

Joan was born into a military family in St. Paul, Minnesota and relocated to many destinations during her childhood.  Among them one of her favorites was Hickam Air Force base in Hawaii.  She graduated from high school and met her future husband who was stationed at Barbers Point in Hawaii.   She was a loving housewife for many years and often reminisced about her time spent in Hawaii.

Joan loved good food, going to the beach, traveling, spending time with her family, and will especially be remembered for the love of her grandchildren.  She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Jack Eisenbrey; son John Eisenbrey and wife Michelle; daughter Jennifer Dickinson and husband Aaron; son Justin Eisenbrey and wife Julie; her five loving grandchildren - Thomas Eisenbrey and fiancee, Shelby Jones, Samantha Dickinson, Olivia Eisenbrey, Evan Dickinson, Carter Eisenbrey; twin sister, Barbara Lara and husband, Chris; brother in-law Jeffrey Eisenbrey and wife, Mary Frances; and many nieces.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Robert & Evelyn Anderson; her in-laws, John & Elon Eisenbrey; brother, Rob Anderson; and son, James Eisenbrey.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, September 12, 2019 at 12pm at the Milford Elk’s Lodge in Milford, DE.  All are welcome to attend to celebrate Joan’s wonderful life.
