Love this woman! I will miss her at PEO, and her kindness towards me when I “pretend” to know how to play bridge. We have enjoyed many laughs. I will definitely miss her!
I met Joan when I joined Chapter GV 14years ago. She was so kind and a gracious hostess, always willing to open her home for our luncheons. I will miss her smiling face. Prayers of comfort to her family. Rest In Peace sweet lady. 🌼Barbee Castello
As Social Chair for P.E.O., I worked with Joan in the Fall to have our Salad lunch at Joan’s home. Joan was such a generous and gracious hostess. She loved having us each Fall until her health would not allow it. Her bright, engaged presence will be greatly missed by all of us.
