Joan Sleet's Obituary
Joan Mary Sleet, 85, of Sebring, FL peacefully passed away on the afternoon of
March 3rd, 2022. Joan was born in 1936 in Brooklyn, NY to parents
Thomas and Myrtle Aitken. She was the middle of three children with her brother, Thomas preceding her in death. Her first marriage was to Richard Ferro. In the early 60’s their family moved to the Sunshine State where she would remain. Joan blessed this world with four amazing daughters: Donna Ferro, Joanne Ferro, Terri Ferro Escude, and Lisa Ferro. She was widowed twice in her life. The second love of her life was to her late husband Robert Sleet. Together they made life an adventure. Traveling and spending time with family and friends were by far their favorite pastimes. Joan was a lover of cuisine, cooking and fashion and could command an audience with her quick wit and contagious sense of humor. She was always ready to explore local events but everyone knew Sundays were always reserved for Saints football. She was extremely proud of the family she built, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Joan leaves many to cherish her memory. Not only her four daughters but especially her treasured sister Delores Keenan. Joan had four grandchildren: Coral Sarantos, Zachary Ognan, Kasey Coker and Dylan Ferro and four great-grandchildren: Nicholas Sarantos, Theodore Ognan, Benjamin Ognan, and Aston Coker and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. A memorial service will be held in the coming weeks. Arrangements by Levitt-Weinstein Blasberg-Rubin-Zilbert Memorial Chapel (305) 932-2700
