Dear Dickinson family,
We were saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. Your sister, Suzy, was a close friend of mine through high school and college, your father performed our wedding ceremony, and your mother was one of my role models of which I am most thankful for. May you all hold onto the memories your family has so graciously shared with our family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jeanne and Chuck Klaus

Nancy & Jeff,
We will certainly miss Joanne. She was always an inspiration during the time we knew her. May her memory live on.
It’s been an honor and priviledge to serve as Joanne’s Pastor. She is clearly one of the ‘jewels’ of God spoken about in the book of Malachi. We enjoyed spending time with her this past year and look forward to seeing her in the Resurrection.
Joanne and I had children about the same age. We both really enjoyed and appreciated being a part of their lives when they were growing up.
Thanks to the Dickinson family for all these memories.
She was a gracious and regal lady. The mother of my most fondest and respected high school friend, Nancy. The family has my heartfelt and deepest sympathies for your loss.
Mrs. Joanne Dickinson was a fine and elegant woman. Her genuine kindess and love for others was appreciated by many. We will all miss her very much…
