Joan and husband Dave were like our closest church friends from the moment we moved to Cleveland in 1980. Very sweet memories and a wonderful lady. Love you Joan.

Mom was always thinking of others and never of herself. If you were on her prayer list you were there forever. Jesus was her best friend. She will truly be missed.

Dave and Joan knew our family in New York and both of our families moved to Cleveland fairly close in time. So I have never known life without my “Aunt Joanie”😭 I love her so much and I pray the Lord comes soon!
