Missing my favorite Supervisor. She was the best to work with. Very hard worker & appreciated her team. I think of her often. I know she's in Gods loving care.  




Joan was a mentor to me from the time I started working in Respiratory Therapy in 1982. She was my supervisor for many years there. One of my favorites, as we were both very conscientious to do the job right. She encouraged me to always strive to work hard and do the right thing. She is missed. Till we meet again, she always be in my mind and heart. Belated Condolences to her Family. 


I never met Joan in person, we connected on Facebook so many years ago I lost count.  We met over Farmville, and from there our friendship blossomed.  It's a remarkable thing when you can become virtual friends, and Joan was that - a true, caring, compassionate, quirky, opinionated and feisty friend.  We shared our love of animals, and true crimes.  When I found out Joan had passed, I cried so hard.  I just couldn't accept she was gone.  it was impossible to believe.  She leaves a remarkable legacy of love and enduring friendships to all she touched.  Goodbye special lady you are missed.

Errol, Charlotte and Family:

I’m so sorry for your loss.  I’ve been praying for God’s peace and comfort.   I enjoyed reading her posts on Facebook.  She had so much fire and compassion for the things she believed in and fought for.  I know she will be truly missed!  Hugs and kisses to Joanie’s entire family.   May she Rest In Peace.  

Love, Ida Kelley 

Joan, You were so strong and invincible it is very hard for me to believe you have gone on to your next life. It was a pleasure being your friend and co worker. You will always in my heart.
Hugs to your family.
Charmaine


When I married your brother Fred, I got a sister. You were my maid of honor and the wedding photographer.
You were always there for me when I needed advice. I loved sharing happy moments with you, as well as the challenges that life throws at us.
I do not know any other 80 year olds as tech savvy as you, in fact you were the first person in the family to have a computer.
I will miss our hours long phone calls. I love you so much and you will always have a special place in my heart.
Rest in peace my dear sister in law.

Joanie, you have a special place in my heart. I struggle accepting you are gone; but forgotten- never. 
I will always remember you as my very smart, very kind and very loving sister. You will be so missed.
Rest in peace my dear sister.
With all my love, your brother Freddie.

To:  Brenda, Ellen, Jose and families

Uncle Neil and Aunt Bernadette extend our deepest sympathies to all.  Joan did things her own way which is to be admired.  We both loved her as we love all of you.   She is already on her way to heaven.

Love,
Uncle Neil and Aunt Bernadette

Friend are a gift from God I am blessed to have known you as coworker we have such a great time when ever I need some advice you were always there to guide me you will be missed R.I.P my friend 

God has a special Angel in Heaven now and her name is Joan. She was such a beautiful loving lady who loved her family and made each of us feel special. I loved her giggle and her smile. I will miss her political opinions as well as her opinions on the criminal trials she loved to follow.  She was a wonderful sister to Errol and an unbelievable sister in law to me. My daughters adored her and our entire family will miss her. I just hope she realized just how much I loved and adored her. Rest In Peace. 

I have known Joan Block since I was a child, at least 50 years.  When I got married and couldn't afford to hire a photographer she volunteered to do it for me and didn't charge me anything! They were absolutely beautiful!! I also have to bring up our awesome monkey picnics at the beach!!! ❤❤❤

Quirky, eccentric, all-caring, and all in. Joan was one of those people who will be long remembered for her ultimate love and compassion of animals and children.  She was also never one to shy away from her opinions especially when it involved those unjustly served or in need.  If she could do anything about it, she would.  Yes, we should carry on her spirit. In these challenging times, that is one thing that will make a difference.

I never had the honor of meeting Ms. Block, but by knowing her daughter Ellen, that is enough for me to know what an extraordinary woman, Mom and human being she must have been. My condolences to the family. May she Rest in Peace. Thinking of the family, and keeping them in my prayers.

Thank you Joan for being my friend for 45 years. We worked together for many years and talked about life after retirement many times.
May you rest in peace. Will miss you much. Prayers to your family.
Love Suzanne 

Aunt Joanie is someone who I will always remember as kind and loving. Funny too, she just was. She had her own ways about her that made her more than just a special person, she was one in a million! She always treated us like we were special to her and I know we still are! Her love for animals will never be forgotten, nor her great intelligence and love of criminal trials! These are the things that make me smile when I think about her! Always warm to be around and easy to talk to. Love you, Aunt Joan. Thank you for being a great big sister to my Dad and a loving Aunt. Love you! 

I am heartbroken.. Heaven has gained another Angel 😇.. R. I. P. my friend.. Prayers to your family...
