To Joan's Loving Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Joan in Real Estate for several years. She was always so pleasant. She took special pains to always look beautiful. Her clothes were perfect and there was never a hair out of place. She looked and acted way younger than her years. She was a credit to her profession, her church, and her friends as well as to her family. 
My condolences are with you, and especially her companion in her later years, Gene Nelson. 
I'll bet she's sold the Dear Lord a condo or two by now!
With love and prayers,
Pat Cusumano

To the family of Aunt Jo,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss.  It seems like only yesterday we said goodbye to Mom.  The only thing that seems to comfort is that we know we will see them again.  Our Lord has provided a way for all to come to him when our time on earth is done.  We were discussing the memories of visiting in Estes and how gracious and welcoming your mother was.  She always opened her home to visitors.  We know you will miss her but take comfort in Jesus and remember his word is alive.  May this verse comfort you:  Psalm 46:1-2
""God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea."" 
 May God bless you and keep you in your time of sorrow.  Bill and Linda Banker

Barbara:
Sorry to hear about your mom.  These times are always hard but you have my prayers and blessings.
Peace be with you and your family.
Linda S. Gruntorad

Barbara, Sorry for your loss; prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Joan was a very professional lady and a loving neighbor.  She shared with us at various opportunities when we lived in our first home here located at 600 Landers.  We did not see her much when we moved to 664 Aspen Avenue, but always respected her privacy and admired her ability to continue working as a realtor.  She was a nice person to know.  May she rest in peace and may you all also feel The Lord's peace.

Are sincere condolences at the passing of annt Joe. Are parys are with you.  God Bless.

I have such special memories of Aunt Jo and Uncle Jim when we visited Colorado all piled into our parents station wagon when we were kids. Jo had such energy and the most beautiful smile. She will be missed. All of her family and friends are in our prayers.

Please accept my sincere condolences at the passing of Aunt Joe.  I had not visited Estes Park since the 70?'s and I am very glad that I got to visit a while with Aunt Joe and cousins at Aunt Mary?'s funeral in Omaha.  Dear Cousins and family please accept my sincere sympathy at the passing of your lovely mother.

Aunt Joe is alot of fun and we will miss her my thougths are with you

Dear Family of Joan,
 I didn't know your mother really well, but I was always touched by the way she greeted me at church. She seemed genuinely eager to know how I was doing, smiled in such a kind and sincere way, and looked lovely while doing this.
YOu will miss her very much -- as I will when she isn't at church with Cyd.  I'm sure many others will feel the same way.
My husbband, Rey, and I assure you that our prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Rey and Louise Olson

Dear Barbara, all our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Both Jeannie and I are sorry for your loss and wish you the best in every way.
Bruce and Jeannie Copple

To the Family of Joannie:
We feel blessed to have known Joannie, both as our wonderful real estate agent, and then as our friend.  She did not stop at helping folks, including us, buy or sell their homes, but also she made certain that we had contacts in town, that we had an invitation to New Year's Eve parties, and that we were enjoying life in Estes.
We send you all our love and blessings as you transform your sorrow into the special memories that each of you must have individually and collectively.
Please know that we are holding you in the light, Donna and Frank

Gene and Joan's family:  My sincerest smyphathy to each and all of you.  I am Claude Goodner's friend and traveling companion. I looked forward to our visits while in Florida and especially having lunch with Joan, and Ruth Warner. She was a beautiful person. Sincerely, Janet Pendergrass

I got to know Joan when she vacationed  in Fla.with Gene Nelson,she was such a nice lady.We will all miss her.

To family and friends of Joan Banker,
I read of your loss and wanted to send a note of sympathy. In reading of Joan's life and all the things she loved and enjoyed one can see she will be greatly missed by her dear family and many friends. I have shared with others two wonderful scriptures that give much comfort at times like these. 2 Cor. 1:3, 4 which speaks of Jehovah God as ""the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation."" and Isaiah 51:12 ""I - I myself am the One that is comforting you people."" I believe we can treasure the wonderful memories and I know you have many of Joan as a loving  mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many. You will carry on that source of inspiration and strength for your family. Please know you are in the thoughts of many.

Our sympathy to your family at the loss of your very special mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and our friend.  We are holding you in our prayers and in our hearts.

Lovly woman, gentle lady, morning star. Aunt Joan is all of these things and more. Her beautiful smile and sparkle will always shine bright in our hearts. My Deepest Sympathy to the Estes Park Banker's 
You are loved. 
Peace to all.
Margaret Banker

My prayers and thoughts are with your family at this sad time.

Sincerest sympathy to all: Aunt Jo's loving family and many friends.  My memories of her are those of a gentle, soft-spoken, gracious lady.  As a child I thought of Uncle Jim and Aunt Jo as pioneers; striking out from Omaha to settle in Colorado.  I once asked my mother why we didn't move and she said we did--to Lincoln. Colorado sounded so much more exciting.  How blessed we Banker cousins are to have had such parents, aunts, and uncles who left us with strong characters and loving hearts.

Banker Cousins,
Our deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your beautiful mother.  It's some 55 plus years since I last saw Aunt Jo,and I still recall what a lovely young woman she was.  She and Uncle Jim had just moved into a new house in Omaha not too far from us.  They were so excited to show us the house and I remember how thrilled she was about her new kitchen.  A beautiful young woman back then and, obviously, all her life.  I remember her gentle spirit and clearly she colored her own life and that of others with love.  How blessed we are to have lived within her orbit, no matter how long the separation. Her courage in raising her family astounds me.  Love,

To Cyd and the entire Banker family,
My deepest condolences and Prayers.

Memories~~  Aunt Jo, had a sparkle in her blue eyes, a soft gentle smile and laughter that touched your soul. Fond memories of years ago when Uncle Jim would speak an enduring name to her, which was often, her gentle blush and twinkle in her eye, showed love and the most tender heart for him being returned. A welcome always, a gentle word of greeting on her lips and a delight to share time with. Our last trip to Estes was in 72, staying for a few days sharing a lovely visit, we were shown all the sights.Hospitality impecable of course! Aunt Jo, such a gracious hostess and Uncle Jim the host right beside her. A dynamic couple. Aunt Jo's strength and discipline in life was amazing. I know she has a crown of gold with jewels galore. Lucky were we all to have her in our life and forever in our hearts! God bless you all and feel ever blessed in her beauty and the goodness of life she shared.   
Mary Lou (Erskine) and Gaylen Mulloy

She was always Aunt ""Jo"" to us during our visits, going back to the 50's and 60's.  Her home was our home when visiting.  Her time was our time.  There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for her extended family from ""back east.""  Two families from two different worlds but we could not wait to visit and experience her warmth and hospitality, her love.  Although this was many years ago, it is as fresh as our memories.  May all her family and friends celebrate her life and love and live with her forever when time re-acquaints us all.
Best wishes,
John and Karen Hofmeister
Houston, TX

Only good memories of Aunt Jo, Jodi, Joan. Dad called her all sorts of names. Mom and Dad often talked about double dating with Uncle Jim and Aunt Joan. I've only ever experienced and heard wonderful things about her. I am so sorry for you loss. Heaven has a new angel and Mom and Dad are double dating again!
All our love and prayers, Rich, Jane, Annika and Michaela Gommermann

Dear Banker Family:
We are sorry about your loss.  She was such an inspiration to us all.  She always seemed to find the bright side in life.  You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Richard and family.

Aunt Joan was so lovely, gracious and welcoming. My parents, Tom and Mabel, thought so much of you. I will always remember you lovingly and it was my pleasure to know you. Much love to the Banker cousins. ~Love Margy

Joanie was such an amazing woman.  With her warm smile, dancing crystal clear blue eyes and her gracious personality, she would make you feel like you were the most important person in the world.  She was the epitome of what every good person strives to be.  She was an angel sent from heaven for us and especially for my dad.  She has brought such joy to our family??Ts life.  We are honored to have known her and to have been part of her family.  Joanie will be so deeply missed.  ??oThe angels are always near to those who are grieving to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of god.???  Our hearts are aching.  With all of our love, Jill, Kelly and Jim

I heard from George & Karen about Aunt Jo's death on Thursday evening and can't tell you how sorry we all are. Jo was the angel in my life while we lived in Denver in the 70's. She was always gentle, compassionate, and fun to be around.
There was always room for our family at her table or on the hill in the backyard where we would pitch our tent. I never felt like we were imposing, but that we had a special place in her heart.
Your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother was a very special person that will live on in our hearts always.
Jim & Dodi, and all the girls, please know we are praying for you at this time.
Love, Judy (Lynch) Haney, Kevin, Christy, Brian & Amy

Jo will ALWAYS have a special place in our hearts.  She was a very special individual with a caring and attentive way about her.  I still have a picture of a rainbow looking off the deck of the home she and Jim owned Uncle Jim gave to me when I was 14 years. I am now 51, so that's a lot of years of special memories.  Jo looks so much like my mother, Margaret Banker Hofmeister, (Maudie), that I often thought they were sisters.  In many ways, they were. Our prayers and thoughts from my family are with you all and Jo.
Love, Margy, Eric, Mark and David Ronning (Margy Hofmeister Ronning)

Our sincere condolances to the family of a wonderful gracious lady.  We have many fond memories of time we spent with her over the years and especially when she and Jim stood up with us when we were married in Estes Park in October 1989.  We are so glad we saw her a little over a year ago when we were thru that area.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you

Such sad news I will miss Aunt Jo very much. But nothing will erase the wonderful memories that our families shared. She was loved by so many, and such a giving person herself.  Moms highlight of her day was going to the mail and receiving a letter from Aunt Jo and from you Barb.  She cherished every one she received. Mom always said Aunt Jo was a sister to her . This is a difficult time our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Such a dear lady. Great sympathies to the family.

We met Jonie And Gene serval years ago at Fort Myers beach. As we became friends we planned our vacations at the same time so we could enjoy some time together. Jonie was a sweet and generous person whom lwe loved to be with.She enriched our lives and we consider it a privilege to have known her. 
Our sincere sympathy to all of you who grieve over your loss. Our prayers are for God's comfort to ease the pain you must feel.
            Jim and Ruth Warner

I know it is hard to say good-bye.  But remember that all of your mom's best qualities live on in you - yours to treasure and share through all the years to come.  Her love will always be a part of who you are.  My thoughts are of you, my prayers are for you.  God bless you in this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss, Joan was in my Red Hat group, She was always the life of the party and was so cute in all her Red and purple, She will surely be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I was very sad to hear of Joan's passing.  She worked for me at Century 21 many years ago.  She called me James as she liked the way it sounded better than Jim. She would always pay as she went in the office.  She would use a stamp and then write me a check for $0.25.  I would tell her to just keep track and write a check when she had used a significant amount of stamps; however, she would always write me those small checks (I think I still have one somewhere).  She was a wonderful friend and I know she was a wonderful mother. Joan loved all of you very much.  She will be missed.....Jim Roth

Aunt Joan was such a wonderful lady.  Always upbeat and smiling.  I loved to see her everytime we came to Estes.  We will miss her terribly. God's love and peace to all of you in this time of sorrow.  I will be praying for all of you.  Such a brave and strong woman.  We all loved her very much

Joan will always be remembered for her bright smile, her energy, love for her family and the gracious way she lived her life. She will be sorely missed by everyone that she touched and will have a special place in our memories forever. When I think of Joan there will always be a smile on my face. To Joan's family - you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Joan personified the gracious. The responsibility she bore lovingly staggers the imagination. It has been my privilege to have her as an Aunt. Lucky for us she will be ever present in our memories. Love to all the Bankers. 
Theresa Erskine Zimmerman

Her phone message always said ""Oh, hi Alice , it's just  Joan"".  But she was not ""just Joan"" to me. This wonderful lady has been my friend and inspiration for 26 years. For 26 years I have watched her demonstrate her strength and tenacity in business, in golf, in bowling, in battling her hair which caused her no end of grief,  I watched her sweet crystal blue eyes twinkle as she spoke of her beautiful family of which she was so proud. I watched her as she would arrive at Red Hat dinners with every piece of red and purple known to man adorning her slender frame. There is so much more....but through all of this , this battle with this awful disease, she has been quiet and strong, and as always...most of all, a lady. In my eyes, she was not ""just Joan""...she was everything I can only hope to be.  I will miss her terribly. My best love to all the Banker family. As Joan would say XOXOXOXOXO
