Today this page popped up and once again tears welled in my eyes. I was one of 4 roommates with Joi in college. First in the dorms(trailer) and then in an apartment. I think of her so often, as if she is still here. Miss her  laugh and zest for for life! So many good memories of hosting the boys for dinner, skiing (or trying hard to get up when you  fall when you are wearing lots of thick layers), listening to music, crashing at her place in San Francisco, her visits to our home in Sacramento, playing tourist…..and her violets! She will always be me in my heart. Miss you Joi….until we meet again my friend.

I met Joi while attending a ballroom dancing course at City College of San Francisco in the spring of 1987. We became friends over the summer, dancing at Cesars, picnicking in Golden Gate Park,  enjoying a meal at a restaurant, or just getting together to hang out. She was always upbeat and pleasant.  I left the city in the summer of 1988. We kept in touch occasionally by phone as the years passed. The last time we talked was in 2004 while I was living with my lady-friend in Florida. More years passed, and I was moving a lot due to my work.  Once during those years I tried contacting her, but to no avail. Just a few days ago, while searching for her online, I found her obit.  It deeply saddens me to learn that she's gone, and still young at that. However, while I remember her, while all who knew and loved her remember her, she still lives on in each one of us.

Joi was a beautiful and kind soul, she was a lovely lady that loved violets and we will miss her smile, and friendly face at our meetings.
May she rest in peace.


Our sincere sympathy and condolences to the family. Joi shared many fun occasions with the SF African Violet club. We enjoyed her warmth and kindness.

Joi was always happy and in good spirits; willing to try new things. She will be missed.  My prayers are with her and her family.


Joi was a cherished member of the African Violet Society of San Francisco. She was always happy with something to share and will be missed.

Joi was a member of the San Francisco Violet Society and will be remembered as smart and fun.  We will miss her.

I will miss you Joi!  You lived up to your name by bringing joy to my life and the lives of others.  We shared 45 years of friendship.   Rest in peace my dear friend.
