Name: McEwen Pineville Chapel
Address: Charlotte, NC

Sending my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Joanna. I had the pleasure of meeting Joanna at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in Charlotte, NC where she was a volunteer and a volunteer trainer. She was absolutely the sweetest and most sincere person, and she cared so much about other people. I appreciated her kindness, understanding and kind/caring words to me when I lost my Moma. There was never a time that she did not stop and ask me how I was doing and encourage me. I will miss her greatly, but I know she is resting the arms of our Saviour.

I first met Joanna when she joined our performing arts team at West Charlotte High School in 1974.  We worked together for 3 years before we both left to pursue graduate degrees - she at UNC-G; me at the Univ. of Mich.  I so enjoyed getting to know her and having her as a friend.  I remember visiting her in N.Y.C. and going with to see an opera and the opening of Amadeus (the movie).  She was such a a special and kind person. She was an example to all of how to act towards others.  I will never forget her,  My sincere condolences to all who loved her and especially to her family.

Joanna was part of our Silver Sneakers group at the Cornwell Center. We miss her and are saddened to learn of her passing.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Ms Joanna Smith.  I worked with her at Garinger High School.  She  was good at her job and a good friend.  I am blessed our roads crossed and I had the opportunity to be a part of a chapter or our lives.
