Joan has been a Sorority sister to me since 1962. We went to Hawaii together and to sorority conventions. She was a good friend. She enjoyed the huge neighborhood garage sale and was always faithful to work the hot dog booth. Whenever we had a sorority meeting at Joan´s house, we always had to get the turtle out of hibernation and see him, too. I have so many happy memories of her! Joan will certainly be missed!
