Not sure what to say?

Such a loss of a most passionate and talented costume designer! Am sure DHS Thespian Students she´s dressed over the years, the fabulous DHS Thespian Directors: Mona Wood-Patterson and Charles Ford, Patty Ratliff and many more whose life she´s touched, have endearing memories of her. Joanne will be missed greatly by all. Robert Boies and I adored her so much. RIP Joanne Nevils Fondly, Patsy Carey

I was privileged to work alongside JoAnn for about 15 years. She was my 'go-to' person, the one I counted on to answer my circulation questions. We also worked cubicle to cubicle in Technical Services where all the fun stuff happened with fun people. She was amazing in her sewing and fabric design artistry, and it was from her Colorado Comfort collection where I chose all my great niece and great nephew newborn gifts, the last 2 years ago for a great, great nephew. Thank you JoAnn! I know her...

Single Memorial Tree

Joanne was the seamstress and costume designer for many of the shows at DHS, a few I was a part of. She was such a kind person with so much creativity. My condolences to her friends and family.
