My heart to everyone in the family ~~ Joan was my Godmother – and one of the most loving women I have ever met or had the privilege of knowing. Joan was the wisest, most giving, understanding and beautiful person ~~ She touched so many hearts, gave so much of herself to each and every person she knew — Her spirit will always be a part of me, memories of Joan and her family in my heart always. My love to everyone – Blessings

I can’t imagine not sharing another cup of tea with my close friend. Joan and I worked our way through so much over the past 25 years, whether it was SWSHS Board, Log House Museum development or personal and family issues. She was always the kindest, wisest and most thoughtful person I’ve ever known and she never, but never, said an unkind word about anyone. Our world will be a much sadder place without her. She is truly irreplaceable. Rest in peace my dearest friend.

I had the pleasure of knowing Joan when she was my resident in Assisted Living and I served as her Activity Director. She lit up a room! I was so very sad when she needed more care then we could provide and she moved on. She was so gracious, full of love and support for all my ideas and adventures with my Seniors. She was pretty ill but always participated with gusto or bowed out with grace. Very sad to hear of her passing.
