I think this is her:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XCZM-HN9
She and her husband are both Slovak-speakers according to the records.
This also appears to be Joan’s parents’ graves:

In this record, Mike and Mary are actually both listed as born in America, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Long Island (?), New York, respectively:

I like his diverse religious background:
Half Catholic, one quarter Protestant (likely of the Mennonite faith), one eighth Jewish, and one eighth Mormon.
