Joan Ellen MacMillan, 77, of Lititz, formerly Wyckoff, NJ, passed away on Friday, February 28, 2025, at Legend of Lititz.

Born in Paterson, NJ, she was the daughter of the late James Buryl and Marion May (Graham) Hackler. She was the loving wife of the late Bruce Arthur MacMillan.

Joan dedicated many years of her life working as a bookkeeper for the Christian Health Care Center until her retirement in 2013. A longtime member of Ramapo Valley Baptist Church in Oakland, NJ, Joan lived her faith through service. She often described herself as a "professional volunteer" volunteering her time to the Wyckoff Public Schools and numerous church committees. Her generosity and kindness touched the lives of many.
