Not sure what to say?

Joetta was one of the kindest people you would ever meet. She was quiet and always greeted you with a smile. I met Joetta years ago at Boiling Springs Baptist Church. Little did I know that later I would be a student of her husband, Dr. Eastman, at Gardner-Webb. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep your family in my prayers

Joetta was and is:

Joyful
Original
Empathetic
Trustworthy
True
Authentic

She made our lives and our world better

Dr Eastman, may God bless you and your family in this time. You are all in my prayers.

Dr. Eastman and family,
I was so very, very sad to hear about Mrs. Eastman's passing. She was an incredible lady, and I was very lucky to have met her. I'm sorry that I could not come to pay my respects, but I want you to know that you are in my prayers.

A wonderful person and a wonderful family

Sorry to hear this. Saddens me to think Saturday morning I was in a hurry and didn't speak when I had the chance. You will be missed.

Tony, Scott and Sean - We're so sorry for your tragic loss. Please know we're keeping you in our hearts and prayers. Jeanie and Art

Tony and family I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed meeting and talking each time with Joetta when she came to the pharmacy. Praying for all of you during this time.

So sorry to hear of this tragedy. Our pizza in visits after church on Sunday evening is just one of the many memories I have.
