Joan Susan Dryer Eippert, 79, of Russell Township, passed away peacefully on August 5, 2022 surrounded by family. She leaves behind her beloved husband of nearly 57 years, Marley. She was a loving mother to son Jeff (Joan) of Mayfield Heights and daughter Holly Sauder (Brad) of Auburn Township, and was a treasured grandma to David, Sarah and Katie Eippert, and Rachel and Ryan Sauder.

Joan was in the West Geauga High School class of 1961 and enjoyed visiting with classmates, attending yoga class, traveling & camping with her husband, reading, attending Geauga Park District programs and events, and spending time with her family. She was a member of The Presbyterian Church of the Western Reserve. She is at rest near her parents at Old Riverview Cemetery in Russell and is missed dearly by her family.
