What a wonderful woman Joan was. She enhanced the life of my daughter, Lisa, in so many ways at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. We think of her often and know she is in heaven. Patty Kuriscak

On behalf of Fr. Scott Donahue and Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Joan Connell.
May the angels lead her into paradise; may the martyrs come to welcome her and take her to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

I met Joan when she worked at bunker hill community college. She was here alone and I invited her to my hone for dinner several times. My family and I fell madly in love with her!! She had these great stories and told them so well. She was a pistol... She left three broken hears in Wilmington Massachusetts. Rest in peace my friend.

Godspeed, Joan. Your intelligence and wit lit every room you entered. Safely home.
