I had the pleasure of teaching alongside Joan during my tenure at Midlothian High School. She was professional, talented, fun-loving, kind, and always on her game. She was a tremendous asset to Chesterfield County Public Schools, her positive impact on our community will last for generations. Rest easy Joan.

So incredibly sorry. Sometimes there are no words to really capture the life someone lived, the joy they had and brought to others. But seeing the words that have been written and knowing at least some of the people who were blessed as her family, it is beyond clear that her love and life have made an impact and created legacies that will carry on. Peace and prayers to her family and friends.
