Joan A. Osterlof

I´ve known Joan and Carl for years when our kids were growing up. I also remember her when we Volunteered at HUMC. She was with Pastoral Care. Such a wonderful turnout at her wake yesterday. She definitely left her mark on our small town. RIP Joan.

Carl Sr led the parade welcoming Joan to the forever of Heaven. The loudest drummers were Tom and Mary Hayes Gannon, who loved the Osterlof family dearly...ALL of them.Joan was so kind and loving when my sister, Mary Gannon, was leaving us, and I know Joan´s presence with her soft, sweet smile meant so much to her. You will all miss her forever and and at the end of forever you will see her again.

I would like to send my sympathy to the Osterloft family friends and extended families. Through my friend Patty Marsh Bale I was able to share some wonderful family occasions. She always made me feel part of this large and loving family . For Patty she brought much joy as she shared memories of her sister Jean Marsh and Patty´s mom. May this. lovely woman rest in peace . Love Sandy Maresca

Truly an angel has returned home! Joan was the epitome of a "gentle woman" and her life was such a gift to all who knew her. Her legacy now lives on in all of her "numerous" and wonderful children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Carl Sr. once again is reunited with Joan, who allowed him to "catch" her years ago. Special thoughts are with the entire Osterlof family at this time of great sadness.
