Joan M. Frey

The last time I visited Joan was in May 2015. I took her to lunch at a favorite restaurant of ours. She was a very intelligent and interesting person. I am glad I knew her.

Joan was an interesting lady. I first met her as a participant in my water exercise class at the YMCA. She loved her water class, she loved to speak of her past students and travels, & her love of music. RIP Joan. I will dedicate tonight's water workout to you.

What a wonderful woman was Joan Frey. She took great pride in her relationship to Father Peter McGirr, the Catholic priest who helped a young Augustine Tolton discern a call to the priesthood. Ordained a priest in Rome, Father Tolton returned to Quincy, where he served as America's first African American priest. He lived a life of supreme virtue, though suffering racism, even in his own church. Today, Father Tolton is near sainthood in the Catholic Church. I have written the McGirr and Tolton...

Miss Frey was a pleasant, alert lady, whom I wash honored to drive to and from QCMA events. She as an attribute to the many communities she served.

I remember meeting Joan at the Library - she attended some book clubs and always had strong opinions about the books being read & discussed. She was also a regular at all music events - Symphony chorus, especially.
