I am so saddened to know that Joanne has passed. She worked for Dr. Mason in his Merced Pediatriac office for many years- was a wonderful person. I don't keep up with the obituaries, otherwise I would have come to her service. Please accept my condolences.
My sympathy to her family, Edna L. Mason

As an RN at MCMC I had the privilege of meeting and working with Joanne who was in charge of Medical Records. She was very friendly and easy to work with.
My sincere condolences to the family.
