I worked for many years with Joan as an officer and as a building rep of the CEA in Ridgefield. Joan was honest, fair, bright and knowledgeable. She was respected and admired by both teachers and administrators. Through her efforts, she made teaching a better profession. I am very sorry for you loss.

Our thoughts now turn to those
who once shared with us
the joys and burdens of life,
but who are no longer in our midst.
Our sorrow is to have lost them;
our privilege to have known them;
our responsibility to build on their achievements.
In loving tribute,
we dedicate ourselves to the task
which unites the generations,
working to create a better world.
From a retired Ridgefield CT teacher

As President of the Norwalk Federation of Teachers AFT Local 1723 I had the pleasure and honor of working with Joan for many years. Even though we were in different organizations she was always most generious with her time and knowledge and her work products were excellent. I was working with her most directly over the past few months when she told me the news. I was shocked to hear of her passing during our Arbitration hearing this past Sunday. We will miss her for all that she was to so...
