Fond memories from 30+ years ago as Joan's hairdresser. She was always so diligent in her work with the church. Precious woman who loved her family and friends. May you find peace knowing she was loved beyond words for her kind ways. God Bless you all during this time.

I have many fond memories of Joan being so vitally involved with Altar Society and the Old English Tea. My mother, Joanne Fleming, said Joan was the one person at church she couldn't say no to. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lord hasn't already put Joan's talents to use in heaven. I will be with you in spirit on Friday morning as you gather to celebrate her life.
