I worked with Joan for years at Derrick's ESSO and then Kimball's EXXON. She was a great friend and I have lots of great memories

I knew Joan as a feisty, honest, funny, brave, loving and generous person for only a short while, but I will carry her in my heart as a shining star to the end of my days. May she rest in peace, and may her many, many friends and family take comfort in their memories of her and her love for them as she did.
