I just ran a search to see if Joann was still with us. I was so sorry to hear she had passed. Joann and I worked together at both Nelson, Coulson & Associates (& I worked with her husband Erv there previously, too, dating back to 1978/1979), and also Joann and I worked at the Better Business Bureau together around 1998/1999. She dedicated her time to helping organizations. She was a rock solid person who could always being counted on, cared for others, and made an excellent banana cake which I have the recipe.My husband and I ran into both Joann and Erv one time after leaving those organizations when they were visiting family in Ft. Collins, I believe. We were coming into or out of an elevator and had a nice chat. Belated condolences to the family. Your mom and dad were top notch.

Hello, I just found news of Joann in the Gazette. I am so sad. We worked together at Nelson, Coulson & Assoc. Actually, shared a job at the beginning. We used to walk and have lunch before I moved to Jersey (over 25 yrs ago)and continued when I visited with her on my visits back home, taking care of my mom. Joann wrote beautiful cards and letters. I will miss our talks about our families. I called her in late Nov/Dec upon our move back to COS, but Andy had just arrived for a visit. Her family meant everything to Joann. Blessings to all. A friend, who loved Joann, Susan Giebel
