Joseph M. "Joe" Gardner, 74, of Unionville, passed away on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, at Culpeper Health and Rehabilitation Center.
Joe will be remembered for his great smile for everyone, and the pranks he loved to play on people.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, James W. and Hilda Carpenter Gardner; and a brother, James E. Gardner. He is survived by his sister, Sue Gardner Dunaway and her husband, Les; and nieces and nephews, Natalie Ducker, Shelly Verling, Grant Verling, Debbie Roberts, and David Dunaway. A graveside service will be held 11 a.m Saturday, April 7, 2012, at Oakwood Cemetery in Unionville. The Reverend Paula Jones will officiate the service.
