Bill and I are very saddened to hear about Joan passing away and the huge loss it is to all of your family! Barbara and Marilyn, I know this is quite a shock to both of you and all the girls and grandchildren as well. She was always "A Lady" and was very welcoming to everyone she met. We send our prayers and love to help you through this very difficult time. May she rest in the gentlest of peace. Bill and Hillery Carroll XOXO

Joan was a sweetheart! I work at Courtyard and she will be missed! I've been calling her Miss America for years because she was so beautiful and always doing her makeup. Rest peacefully. ❤
