God Bless You Joan! May your soul Rest In Peace with our Heavenly Father.
I love the memory of the Christmas Dinner when you and Mom Reed joined us even with the snow on that Christmas Day!
I love the memory of our trip together to see Sarah Palin in 2008! It was great! I look forward to seeing you again in our Father's Heavenly Home!

I remember one Christmas we visited with Uncle Chuck and Joan at their house off of Westport Road. All the cousins were there along with Aunts and Uncles. Good times, good memories!

Aunt Joan was such a wonderful, happy person! I'm so sad of her passing, but thankful she has alot of love in heaven to welcome her. My favorite memories are Christmas of course, and visiting her and Grandma when they visited Rough River. She and I would lay out together! She was so fun! Love to the family❤

So sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. She was a wonderful, sweet aunt. She and my Mom and I shared many trips to Rough River, lunch and dinner dates, and happy times together. We will miss her greatly. Rest In Peace , Joan, with your sisters and brothers.
