Joan L. Engel

I first met Joanie at Christ Unity on L Street about 1980. We continued our association and friendship through my attendance there, my participation in several trips abroad and my subsequent relocation to Georgia and entrance into ordained Unity ministry.
She neverfailingly uplifted my spirits with her music and got me to my intended destinations on time! We exchanged countless phone chats and many hugs.
I will forever remember her advice to pack warmly for "the cold desert...

During the time we attended Christ Unity Church, Joan was the organist and subsequently the music director. She always sat so tall on the bench and played with such grace. She was very faithful and her passing seems so premature. Our condolences to her loved ones.

I loved Joan ... we spent a great deal of time working together on her home. We shared many things but most of all we shared a very close friendship. You will be terribly missed Joan, but I will hold you close in my heart always.
My deep sympathy for all of her loved ones.. she leaves behind.

Joan was the official real estate agent of the Mayes family and she never let us down. She was delightful to work with and we embraced her and Tom into our family. We're very sorry to hear of her passing and grateful for the time we spent with her.

I knew Joan at Christ Unity Church where she was the music director. Her organ playing always touched our hearts. I'll always remember the Hawaiian trip she planned for our Unity Group. Joan made it magic. I will miss her spontaneous joy.

I was privileged to meet Joan while making wine with Tom for several
harvests. I will always admire her tremendous energy and remember her dropping by some snacks she made for us, talking about the latest trip she was planning, while running off to show a house. She handled all with obvious grace.

I had the pleasure of working with Joan on some of her real estate transactions. When she walked into my office she was always smiling even if it was a difficult deal, her personality would just light up the room. She will be greatly missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
