I was saddened to hear about Joan's passing. I knew Joan when I performed in a show with her at St. Bart's. We became friends and I used to go skating with her at the Sky Rink since I was an avid figure skater myself. She also invited me to the Grand Opening of Wollmans Rink where she performed. She was a wonderful, lovely person and I shall never forget her. May she rest in peace.

As a salesrep for Scribners I was fortunate to meet Mr and Mrs Scribner at our annual meetings. I will always remember this lovely couple. Today's Rosary is for them and I will add them to my list of souls to pray for at Mass each Sunday. Eternal rest grant to them oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them.

I also remember skating with her during freestyle sessions at (33rd St.) Skyrink, in the early '80's when I first started skating. Such an elegant, inspiring, lovely skater, and lady; always looked as though she enjoyed skating. My condolences to her family and friends.

I remember skating with Joan at the SCNY in the early 1980s. We never spoke, but she always smiled at me. I was a very shy 18-year-old. Looking back, I thought she was very generous by doing that. My condolences to her loved ones and friends.

Joan entertained like a debutante even in her 70s. We loved our visits in Basking Ridge and at the Somerset Hills Golf Club. She was a lady to the end! Carol Fanning

Charlie: What a lovely obituary for such a grand woman! It's been years since I last saw your mother, but, if as Fitzgerald wrote, "action is character", then your mom must have had more character than most of us put together. My sympathies go out to you and your family.

Joan was a warm, wonderful, classy lady. Her passion for skating showed-every day that I saw her practice- and perform . I am forever grateful that she very kindly helped and inspired my daughter to attend her very same K-12 all girls' school. My heart and prayers go out to all her family members and friends. -Denise Beaumont
