Joan was one of a kind! Such an elegant, gentle lady who led by example. Never wanted to be in the limelight but always helping others to be their best. Her strength and love was her family, and she exemplified motherhood. Working with her at the Boy Scout office was a joy as she would say to me, "Well, it will be another adventure." I will miss her stories of the beauties of New Zealand, of flowers, the kiwi, vegemite sandwiches, and of riding her pony "Snowy" to school. She made me feel welcome when I was new to Oak Park and taught me so many life lessons.

May her family find peace in her loving memory, life example, and knowing that so many loved her as they did.
May peace be with you Joan! I will always remember you!

Born 1921 in Auckland New Zealand. Husband George returned to NZ from fighting in Guadalcanal & the Solomon Islands at the end of World War II and both headed for their new life together in Oak Park, IL in 1946. George died in 1968. We have been very lucky to have such an incredible woman providing love and guidance to her eight kids when we lost our dad, and she lost her husband 47 years ago.
