So sorry to hear about Joan's death. I didn't know her well from high school, but I worked with her at Freeport Intermediate School. She was so devoted to her boys and was a wonderful mom. She also was a great friend of the SOS (Sisters of Seventy) and attended the beach house gatherings when she could. She always wore a smile and was friends with us all. My sincere condolences for the family and prayers for comfort. Rest easy, Miss Joannie!! You will be missed!! 💔

Joanie was such a sweet, sweet lady. Didn't see her often but when I did I was always greeted with a hug and the biggest smile ever. My sincere condolences to her boys and the rest of her family. Another classmate gone too soon, but Heaven has definitely gained another Angel with Joanie.

My sincere condolences and prayers go out to the families. She was fun to be around always laughing and joking. I had the pleasure of knowing her when I collected for the facts and she set exactly right in front of me in English. She will be dearly missed.
