Joan was a great mother-in-law and the best grandmother playmate a kid could ever have! We miss her dearly. She enjoyed her retirement until her body said no more. Her generosity with bringing happiness to her grandchildren was amazing. -
Blessings and peace to you Don and family.

Loved being your flower girl. Joan was always so admired an amazing woman. She loved being a grandmother so much and made all of her family feel special. There was no hat she couldn’t wear. So sorry for you all she will be in my prayers with all of you. -
I’ve been good friends with Steve and Megan for 30 and 23 years, and I couldn’t agree more: Grandma Joan always had such a spirit of creativity, fun, and wonderful storytelling, especially for grandkids’ birthdays … Sending heartfelt condolences, and with you in Spirit today to remember her and celebrate her life.
