Joan was a dedicated mother who loved making homemade meals and baking for her family, friends and events. No one left Joan's kitchen hungry. She leaves for us with fine artifacts of her quilting, sewing, crocheting, homemade preserves, and a love for music.
Truly she will be missed by her family and friends but she leaves us fond memories of her singing and playing guitar and the assurance that we will meet her later, "Beyond The Sunset".
