Joanne was a longtime friend, since 1962 -3 when we were both in the Alpha Delta Pi chapter together, at University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Many happy get-togethers were also shared every New Years at Lillian Marshall McConnell's home along with other good friends. So very sad to lose her. Old friends are like gold - precious. So sorry for her loss and condolences to her family.
