I first met Joann in Devers in the 5th grade (1948). She was so pretty and sweet. I have not seen Joann since I graduated Liberty High School, but have wondered where she was and how she was getting along. My sincere condolences are sent to her family. She will be missed by all that knew her. God wanted a special flower and chose Joann. Again, my sympathy goes to her family.
