Joan was a special person - so full of energy and fun. She was a member of the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Oregon Caves and Chateau. She loved to join us any time we had a booth at a conference to share the fun stories of the Oregon Caves and her family history there. We miss Joan. Much love to Molly and the family.

Our hearts are broken for Gene, Molly and Joan´s family. Our world is not as bright and shiny without her. Joan was Brad´s neighbor and first love. This picture was taken on Joan´s wedding day. Brad was 5 or 6 years old. Our wonderful memories of Slug, Connie and Joan live forever in our hearts. Sending so much love to the extended Palmer family.
