She won the hearts of the insurance industry's Million Dollar Round Table and NBC Today Show audiences with her story of courage, perseverance and acceptance.
In 2003, Joan's amazing life story was portrayed in a Lifetime Television Network movie, titled More Than Meets the Eye: The Joan Brock Story.
