The great-grandmother moved to the European nation of Spain back in 2002 with Late. Trevor Woodhouse, her late husband, was a retired solicitor. Now, she is enjoying her life with David Winder, her 80-year-old boyfriend, who is a retired cargo coordinator. The couple lives in Costa Calida, Murcia, Spain, and let’s be honest- she is as inspiring as one can be, with how effortlessly she lives her life and enjoys it to the fullest extent. 

So, how does this great-grandmother look this good for her age? Well, Joan swears by her trusted Nivea cream, stating that she has been using the same cream since she was 16 years old. And she makes it a point to moisturize her entire body at least once a week. In an interview that she gave the previous year, she stated, “I don’t know how to behave like a 91-year-old- I just act the same as I did when I was 21. I’ve always looked young, and people are always shocked when I tell them my age as I don’t look, talk, or act like I am 91.” 

Joan further added, “I don’t do anything special to stay young- I love pies and English grub, so even in Spain, I’ve stuck to eating that. I love wearing a bikini and going to the beach with my granddaughter. I’ve never put any weight on. I think that must be my secret to my young looks and I just love life and have never had the mindset of being old.” But this great-grandmother didn’t have it easy throughout her life- for she even had to battle colon cancer- but she never let that get her down in life.
