Joan blessed my soul more than any word I know during the brief time we worked together in the 1970's. We miss her deeply as she lives on each day in our hearts. Jim and Kirby Shaw in Oklahona

I was fond of Joan and looked up to her as a role model for the past six years after I moved to Fort Wayne and the joined First Pres Table Talk group. I will miss her and I know she will be greatly missed in other realms. My heart goes out to her family and close friends. My prayers continue.

Joan was a dear friend of mine for over 35 years. She will be greatly missed. Joan had many qualities that made her different than most. She was loving, caring, compassionate, kind, considerate, empathic, and a peacemaker. She never displayed her anger destructively. You might have never known she was angry. She could discuss and debate differences of opinion with a smile, always leaving a nugget of wisdom to consider.
Joan worked tirelessly for causes she supported and commitments that she made. She was fair and tolerant. Joan read voraciously and was always quick to suggest a book that was a fun read or would help to broaden the understanding of an issue or cause.
She loved the beach, sunshine, good food, walking, her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and all people. She had accumulated a collection of lovely pins that she wore on a sweater, jacket or scarf with regal grace and a twinkle in her eye.
She disliked sitting at home with nothing to do. She preferred to be among people or just outside her house. Long Indiana winters were boring to her but she rarely found weather a reason to stay home when there was a meeting, lunch with a friend, or gathering she could attend. She loved beauty of all sorts, art, music and theatre.
To her friends she was a confidant, encourager, secret-keeper, listener, and willing companion. She was loyal, honest, trustworthy, authentic, and non-judgmental. Joan was graceful and filled with grace. She will be greatly missed.
My condolences to her family and my regret that I am away and cannot attend her funeral.

Joan was so vibrant, and such an integral part of the Indiana Center board. It has been a joy to know and labor alongside Joan, who shared our passion for peace and justice. It will be difficult to see Joan's empty chair at ICMEP events. We miss you already, dear Joan.

To Joan's family.
I have known Joan and worked with her in committees for more that thirty years at The First Presbyterian Church of Fort Wayne.
Our church will miss her as an active member, a caring deacon, an experienced elder, and a welcoming presence. She was very special to all of us.
May she rest from her labors in the peace of our Lord.
