Joan Davenport Smith
Joan's Latest Interactions
There were several of we Aaron Palmer elementary students who moved out of the district when the west end of Marshalltown was being developed and went to Franklin school. The Davenports were one of the familys. Gene, Joan, Bob Johannsen, Don Alexader and myself all classmates lived close in the neighborhood. MANY good times playing were had. I was devastated hearing Gene was electricuted the summer after graduation. He was the first deceased in our class. 60 years later his twin,Joan, making 112 deceased for our class, that I'm aware of. It was good to see her at a gals luncheon last fall before they headed south. Most of us attending the luncheon were in lower elementary at Aaron Palmer. Our conversations were full of fun, laughter, and GREAT memories. Goodbye, longtime friend, Joan.

Joan was my best friend in High School. We kept in touch through the years, and every time we got together, it was as if no time had passed, and we were buddies again.
