Joan Hamil Edmondson, 85, of Decatur, GA, passed away peacefully Tuesday, January 15, 2019. Born March 11, 1933, in Fairfax, AL, she was the daughter of the late Noah Hamil and Eunice Briskey. Joan met the love of her life, Rolfe, and was married at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Decatur. They made their home together in Decatur where they raised two children. As a homemaker, she enjoyed sewing, smocking, and baking.

Upon Rolfe's retirement, the two made a move to Palm Coast, FL, where they enjoyed 20 years together making new friends, playing tennis, bicycling along the beach, and entertaining their friends and family at their home. In 2014, they moved back to Decatur to be closer to family.
