I met Joan when we both worked at Missouri Western. She was a wonderful colleague and amazing woman. I remember riding in the boat with Norman and Joan at Smithville Lake and how how they enjoyed it! They were a handsome couple who loved traveling and their little sports car. Joan invited me to join P.E.O. Chapter ED, where she was a valued member. She was very proud of her family. She will be missed.

I was saddened to hear of Joan’s death. I was always fond of Joan and her family, and enjoyed working with Joan at MWSU. I am sorry I will be out of town and unable to attend her funeral. May she rest in peace.
