I remember Joan as a super nice and cheerful lady. She was always ready to lend a hand through many of the activities of St. Mary Parish and school. My condolences to all her family and friends.

Joan was such an incredible sweet and kind woman and a huge help to my family when we first moved to the area and had all our information transferred from our previous parish. Her gentle nature and lovely smile always made my day whenever I stopped into the parish office. Her beautiful presence and genuine warmth will be missed. She is forever in my prayers!

So sad to hear this news. Having worked at the Rectory several summers and being involved with the Fair, I so enjoyed working with Joan. She had a love for St. Mary's and was so warm and kind. It will not be the same without her. Prayers for her family.

So sorry to hear the loss of Mrs Kaminski. She was a wonderful lady and a pilar of the SMS community. She was my reading group leader in Mrs Grant's 1st grade and was so patient and kind. She not only taught us how to read but enabled us to love reading. Godspeed Mrs. Kaminski.
