Joan Jones Woodbury

Joan was an incredible human being....always giving...I will always remember her for ALL of the wonderful times!

My mom, Marian Hintze, was Joan's cousin. Oh how Mom loved Cedar City and her Cedar cousins. As my mom's unofficial assistant in her later years, I got to enjoy some great visits, because I had been the chauffeur. I was at one of the Jones Christmas gatherings at Kerry and Sue's home, but maybe my favorite was going to lunch with my mom and Marolyn and JoAnn somewhere downtown in SLC. It was such a treat to enjoy them enjoying themselves. Joan had an amazing life, marriage, and family. I had...

My deepest condolences to Joan´s family. She was always a joy to see and talk to when I had my short visits to pick up Debbie. I am honored to have known her and grateful that she imparted her beautiful wisdom, and artistic abilities to the generations that followed her. May she rest in peace and may she be dancing with Charlie in the ethers.

Todd, Jeff, and Jena, Your mother, that tiny boundless bundle of energy, was a huge presence in my life. And because of her love and respect for family, my family and I share a deep loss with you. I love the photo of her in the studio. That pursed little mouth was her signature way of showing you she was listening with her undivided attention. Oh how that woman cared about us all. She taught us how to connect. Her sincere interest in others was not just about seeking support. She truly...

I had a couple of wonderful phone conversation with Joan just weeks before her passing, and plans for a visit at Veterans hospital. Visit was cancelled due to the unexpected end of her journey. Such gorgeous memories of this incredible woman. Jeff's photos convey so much of her. RIP and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, dear friend. I shall miss your vivacious presence.

A dear friend to the arts and we will miss her uplifting visits to the gallery. Sending love to the whole family and greater family of friends. Bonnie and Denis Phillips

To Todd, Jeff and Jena, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Your mother was so dear to me. What an inspiration and a great loss to the Utah art world. Willamarie

Jena, my sincere sympathy on the death of your mother. She was a giant in the dance community and in the broader arts community in Utah. I was fortunate to know her and am thankful for her passion and the example she set for arts leadership and excellence. She will be greatly missed. My best wishes to you and your colleagues.

Kudos to the author of this Joan Jones Woodbury treatise. How exhilarating to read it! In 1961 at U/U Joanne was our instructor in an introductory beginners modern dance class held in the Einer Nielsen Fieldhouse. Such gentleness and in-depth critiques she gave, such love.
