I remember Joanne from the church lunches, she assisted with. I wasn't well acquainted with her but I admired how she "carried herself". She was polished! Prayers are with the family.

Dear family. It was with great sadness that I read of Joanne's passing. When our daughter attended Beacon preschool 40 years ago Joanne worked in her classroom. Joanne was so loving. It gave us great comfort to know our daughter was in such wonderful care. I never saw her without her beaming smile. The Holland Family
