Not sure what to say?

I worked with Joan for many years through the Occupational Therapy department at WWRC. My condolences to the whole family on the loss of this spirited member of your family. Peace be with you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Heather and Melissa. I remember the days of use being neighbors on 10th Street in Waynesboro, VA. Also going to school together.

I was a nurse at associated physicians/Carolion for many years Joan and I got along beautifully. I remember once when I was a student nurse, she was a patient in the hospital. She wouldn´t allow anyone to do anything for her except me. I am sad to read of her death. She could be "fiesty"

So sorry for your loss. She was a very opinionated and strong willed woman. When funding became issues with her wheelchairs she would fight for answers.

A great soul! She was a delight to talk to. She will truly be missed.
