Not sure what to say?

I met Joan when we both worked at Missouri Western. She was a wonderful colleague and amazing woman. I remember riding in the boat with Norman and Joan at Smithville Lake and how how they enjoyed it! They were a handsome couple who loved traveling and their little sports car. Joan invited me to join P.E.O. Chapter ED, where she was a valued member. She was very proud of her family. She will be missed.

We were blessed to live next door to family members of Joan. All of them were gracious and made our lives better. May Joan rest in peace. Our deepest sympathy to all of her family. Prayers

May we send to all of you our deepest sympathy at the passing of Joan. Many years of great memories. We are in AZ and will be unable to attend her service. Please know each of you are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless each of you during this difficult time. Mike and Angie Flowers.

Joan was one of the first sisters I met at PEO and always made me feel welcomed. See will be missed by our group-prayers to her family.

I was saddened to hear of Joan’s death. I was always fond of Joan and her family, and enjoyed working with Joan at MWSU. I am sorry I will be out of town and unable to attend her funeral. May she rest in peace.
