She grew up in several communities, attending grade school in Oak and later graduating from Nelson High School. She was a member of the Methodist Church and then the Presbyterian Church of the Plains in Edgar. In 1954, after graduating high school, Joan married Morris Skinner. This union was blessed with three children, Marcus, Michael, and Mitzi. In 1961, her marriage to Jack Skinner added another son, David, to the family. She later married Leland Uldrich and they spent many years of happiness together. Joan resided on a farm just outside Edgar where she raised her children. She was a devoted mother.

She also enjoyed sewing crafts, babysitting and loved following the Husker football games. She devoted many years to her church as an Elder, secretary, bookkeeper and member of the Presbyterian Women.
