JOAN EDGAR Obituary
On February 23, age 67 of Peters Twp., heard the call of heaven and went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, where she was reunited with her recently deceased husband of 44 years, Jack. Devoted wife of Jack Edgar; mother of Jessica (Matthew) and Kristen; sister of John, Ed, Ron; and Grams to Samuel. Dedicating 23 years of her life as a Chaplain at Country Meadows, Joan was known for her compassionate heart and listening ear to help those in time of need. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made at the church or by mail to Country Meadows Co-Worker Foundation, 830 Cherry Drive, Hershey, PA 17033. Friends received Friday, March 1, 10-11:30 a.m., at South Hills Assembly of God, 2725 Bethel Church Road, Bethel Park, PA 15102, where a service will be held at 11:30 and a reception immediately to follow.

A great loss to all, her family, Country Meadows, her community of co-workers and all of those residents. Joan, dear friend, confidante and counselor to our family over the years. We loved and respected Joan and called her our "guru" which always gave her a chuckle. Dealing with first both parents and now an aunt living at Country Meadows, we relied heavily on Joan for counsel and moral support on many occasions. I can still hear her and Jack singing at Chapel. Now, together again. Goodbye, dear friend and wonderful, indispensable, part of Country Meadows. We will never forget you. We thank you. Judy and Margie

I am so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. She truly was a woman whose heart was full of compassion and love for her Lord, her family and those entrusted to her care, as well being an example to those who worked with her. Please know of my prayers that the comfort that comes from the Holy Spirit fills you with His peace and grace.

My dearest friend is now in the presence of the Lord and is hearing Him say Well done my good and faithful servant I will miss her deeply but know she is free of the pain and suffering she endured. Her daughters are a witness to how wonderful Jack and Joan were as their parents. They exemplify the loving kindness and compassion that their parents extended to all who knew them and called them friend...

In the short time that both my Mom ( Ruth Marthaler a resident of Country Meadows ) and myself , first met Joan, we instantly found her to be a very special lady . Thanks to her spiritual and wonderful caring qualities she quickly became a inspiration in helping my Mom with the transition to her new home at the Meadows . She will always be in our heart .

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Your Mom was awesome and she really encouraged me at my lowest point during our transition from Pittsburgh to Greenville. I will always cherish that conversation and what she did for me. She was a true warrior for the kingdom! Rest in Peace Joan. Love and Blessings

Dear friends from my early married days, you will be missed. Thank you Joan for the poignant memory I have of you offering to take me upstairs to see the nursery for your first baby. It was a rare moment of being treated like a normal person during my years of struggling to start a family. Few people are gifted as you were to relate to others.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one, Virginia. May 1 Thessalonians 4:14 bring you some comfort in knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death. They are very precious in Gods eyes. May the God of all comfort strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow.

Joan and Jack are so special to me! I remember many times I went over to their home when I was in high school to spend time with Jess. Such faithful loving parents and so kind to me. Their faith was such a testimony..so greatly missed. I am praying for your family, Jess!
