Aunt Joan was always a welcoming person when we came to visit from dad's tour of duty with Mom and their growing family in tow. They treated us kids like we were part of their crew, sparing nothing, food, fun, and lots of Styron twin stories, swimming, fishing on the sea wall, standing to watch a Mardi Gras parade, enjoying Ponchatrain Beach, visits with Grandpa George and Grandma Elsie, and cousins and Aunt Joan's family.

I love her very much and so glad we had a recent chat. She helped us "Army Brats" feel comfortable in our beautiful extended family.

Love always,
Beth "Ann" Styron-Fuller

Sorry l was not able to be there today. I was out of town. I just got home at 7:45. Was on vacation in Gatlinburg, TN.

Ronnie and Leslie and family. So sorry to hear "Aunt Joan" passed. She was an exceptional person - always smiling, kind and sweet. Mike and I spent a lot of time with her in our initial years of marriage. She was the kind of person whom once meeting her, you won't ever forget her. I remember she was very fond of Mike and would say "that's my boy, that Michael." I will be thinking of y'all all tomorrow and how much love she shared with all around her. Prayers and blessings to you all..
