FRAMINGHAM – Joan Ann Cella, 83, a long-time resident of Framingham, passed away peacefully with family by her side on August 3, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Joan was born in Mount Kisco, New York on November 29, 1936.

Joan worked as a switchboard operator supervisor at TJX for many years. She was an avid gardener who loved tending to her beautiful flower garden.

She also loved walking along the beach, Ogunquit being one of her favorites. Joan loved spending time with her family, helping to make wonderful memories of birthday and holiday gatherings. She will always hold a special place in the hearts of those who loved her.
