Joan was a lovely lady who loved her daughters and grandchildren. As a member of her Bunco club, I have known Joan for the past 5 years. Joan was extremely proud of the family portrait that was taken during their Thanksgiving celebration and was showing this picture with joy and love to us during the December Bunco held at her home. She enjoyed life to the fullest and she was loved by many. We will miss you Joan and will cherish the memories we shared with you.

Sincerest sympathy to her family,

To Joan's family; My condolences to you and yours in a great loss.
Joan was such a giving person. Even before she knew me well. She gave me a brass Empire State Building ornament just because I was a yankee from Brooklyn, New York. She was a special person to me and I will always remember her and her soft spoken manner. She had a heart of gold. She's my hero! she was ready to be with the Lord. God bless your memory Ms. Joan.
