Joan was a very kind, thoughtful person. She was friendly and always enjoyed her neighbors and friends in the community. She certainly will be missed by all who knew her.

I was so very sorry to hear about my dear friend, Joan. We met through an astrology class, which we lived and breathed. She was the most caring and loving person I have ever known, and her family was her whole life. My sincere condolences to all of them.

Joan was a wonderful, thoughtful, considerate, helpful neighbor and friend. She was always there to help with anything anyone needed. Her artwork was beautiful and delighted many. She lit up whenever she spoke of her family. Joan was loved and will be sorely missed. God's light and love surround her soul. Millie Guaglione and daughters, Marianne, Diane and Laurie
