Joan Brisson
April 19th, 1943 - November 20th, 2013
It is with great sadness to family and friends that Joan M. (Christensen) Brisson, 70, was called early home to the Lord on November 20, 2013 after struggling with complications from surgery. Joan was a woman of true substance and an inspiration to family, friends and colleagues wherever she went. She made a difference in all of our lives in some way. Joan worked steadfastly on many efforts, striving to give voice to our military soldiers and their families. She taught us to enjoy life to its fullest and dance as though no one is watching. In her work, Joan Brisson was inspired with a mission to foster relationships to help people at home and in faraway places to secure the highest level of medical care for those in need. Joan knew what she wanted to accomplish and she was driven to produce results, always working with a smile and total optimism for what could be if we all stood together to make it happen. Joan gave everyone she knew unconditional support and in doing so created strong, lasting relationships. A lot of her efforts were done quietly behind the scenes – if you were a friend in need and she knew it, she would be your greatest champion, making sure you had what you needed. Joan never needed to receive any applause for all that she accomplished. She taught us to love. She taught us to give. She taught us to have fun. She taught us to stand up for what we believed in. She taught us to take what life handed us, punt if necessary, and always fall back on Plan B with gratitude. She taught us to be the best person we could be to all of those around us. She loved all the good things that life had to offer including her children, her grandchildren, friends, traveling, books, chocolate and wine. Her light will continue to shine and be a beacon for all of us to carry her legacy forward. As a Mother, Grandmother (Oma), Aunt, Sister, and friend we will miss her greatly. She is survived by ex-husband, Robert F. Brisson Jr.; daughter, Tina Marie Christensen; son, Robert F. (Mary) Brisson, III and 4 grandsons (Joseph, Robbie, Joshua and Benjamin). The family will receive friends at the Beckman Williamson Funeral Home, Viera, FL. Sunday, November 24, 2013 from 5 till 8PM. A Mass of the Resurrection will be held at 2:30PM, Monday, November 25, 2013 at St John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Viera, FL. In lieu of flowers contributions can also be made to St John Evangelist CCW Marian Grotto or Assoc. United States Army Space Coast Chapter as these were very dear to Joan’s heart. .
