Joan C. Altieri

I was so sorry to see that Joan has passed. She and I worked together many years at Meuser Library in the children's department; it was the best time of my working years! Joan's creative artwork inspired us all and certainly made an impression on the children who passed through the summer reading programs at that time. Life-sized animals made from paper mache, a haunted dungeon - stories came alive! Joan was a delight to be around, and I was so fortunate to have her as a friend. She was as thoughtful as they come and funny too, (thinking of the little rubber snake that appeared in a gardening gift basket!)

My caring thoughts go out to all of her family members. She touched many lives and we are all the better for it. She will be greatly missed.
