Joan Ballantyne Carlson Schaefer Obituary

Joan Kay Ballantyne Carlson Schaefer, "Joanie," passed away on Tuesday, July 7, 2020 at her home in Brighton, Colorado. Her work in the community included the Metro North Chamber, Meals on Wheels, CASA, the Adams 12 School District, Front Range Community College, and as the paralegal for Schaefer Law family law practice. Her spunk and high energy level combined with her generosity and service made her a force in her community and in her family. She will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her husband Dr. Frederick Schaefer, her children Ryan, Dawn, Blake, Sara, Lindsay, Skyler, Meredith and Tobias, and her grandchildren Gavin, Ethan, Lubov, Lexi, Logan, Wyatt, Faith, Jackson, Allison, Austin, Rylee, Luke and Wade.

Joan will be buried at the Finley-Sunset Hills Cemetery in Portland.

Joanie Kay was my Eastmoreland neighborhood friend ( she lived around the block from me),and fellow red head classmate. We attended Duniway Elementary and Cleveland High School together.
Joanie was always a fun person to be around. She knew how to include people in whatever the activity was at the time. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I will always remember her as such a caring, positive person.

Joanie was an incredible warm friend. The heavens have a great angle. My thoughts are with Fred and family.
