Joan Martin

Your Mom was such a beautiful person and her warmth and kindness touched many lives. Our deepest condolences to your family.

So sorry to learn of your mother's passing. She will always be remembered by many. All the happy memories will keep her in your hearts forever.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Lots of fond memories of your mother and times I got to celebrate good times together with your family. Miss Julie and her both!

My dad, Chuck Carpenter, was Joanie's first cousin, but a couple of years younger than her. She was the oldest of her Carpenter cousin generation, and I am the oldest of my Carpenter cousin generation, which seemed to be an extra family bond between us. I recall the friendliness of Joanie and Gordie exuded whenever I saw them in the desert. I send my condolences to the family. Love, Lee Ann Carpenter Barth

Joan-thank you for showing us the way to be a friend, a confidant, a role model in many ways but most importantly one who demonstrated her deep belief and importance of God and Family and their relationship in building a strong community for others.
