Joel Edward "Joe" Strong Obituary (1944

Let Us Pause To Honor the Memory of Mr. Joel "Joe" Edward Strong Mr. Joel "Joe" Edward Strong, age 80 of Madison, Indiana, entered this life on March 4, 1944 in Yerkes, Kentucky. He was the loving son of the late Pearl and Malta Campbell Strong. A Jefferson County resident since the age of eight, Joe graduated in 1962 from Madison Consolidated High School. On March 6, 1964, Joe was united in marriage to Beverly Jean Seigel at the First Baptist Church in downtown Madison. This happy union of 60 years was blessed with a son, Joel David, and a daughter, Jodi. He worked early in life in production at the old Conn Organ plant in Madison. He then began a career on July 29, 1967 with the Jefferson Proving Ground retiring on July 28, 1995 as head of the chief test division. He attended the Madison Assembly of God Church in Madison, Indiana. Joe was a perfectionist, especially when it came to his woodworking abilities. He was known as "Mr. Fix It" around the house and neighborhood. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed golfing with his regular buddies as often as he could, plus enjoyed playing cards with his wife and their friends weekly until his health worsened. He spent many hours watching his grandsons play golf and soccer and enjoyed this time immensely and so wished he could have played golf with them longer. After his illness became increasingly worse, he enjoyed his daily trips to the Ohio River front with his beloved wife. Joe died on Monday, July 8, 2024, at 4:15 p.m. at his home in Madison, Indiana with his loving family at his side.
