JOAN SAME Obituary

JOAN M. SAME, 94, passed away peacefully Monday, Jan. 17, 2022, at home. Born Sept. 8, 1927, in Rochester, N.Y., she enjoyed nature, particularly her backyard birds while enjoying breakfast that her son Tom prepared every morning, but also tent camping trips no matter the weather as long as she was with Tom. She was never far from her classical music including opera, was able to knit sweaters with the most intricate patterns and was a constant reader. What she enjoyed most was doing anything for or with her family. She is survived by her daughter, Marty (Tom) Bastress; sons, Thomas and William; 10 grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas; and daughter, Gail Wonderly. No services or calling. Memorial donations may be made to the donor's choice. Arrangements by C.M. Sloan & Sons Funeral Home, 1327 N. Wells St., Fort Wayne, IN 46808.

THANKS MOM!!!!! From you I learned so many of the things that are very important to me every day of my life! You gave me the love of preparing and eating good food, the joy of walking in all kinds of weather, the comfort of a good book in my hands, the peace from time spent in nature, oh the bird songs I hear daily that remind me of childhood summers, the music that moves my soul and the importance of nurturing my family. But most of all. Mom, Thank you for bearing me God's precious life. I love living life!!!!
