I am so sad to hear that Joan passed away.She was a beautiful person inside and out.She was always so sweet to me
.I will miss her dearly God rest your soul Joan.
My thoughts and prayers are with you
where do I start? My family has known Joan all our lives. My nephew Tim remembers her from the Lunch Lady at Seigel. She would sneak him extra pizza at lunch. Being bestfriends with Vicki and hanging with Kathy Tusky I knew Joan pretty well especially in the last 3 years. when I found out she had passed, I looked up at the sky and said “OK boys here come your FEMALE singer. She is up there with the gang singing her heart out. Joan, I will miss ya but I believe you are in no more pain. Tell Betty and Bob Hi for me.
Rest in peace Joanie, say hi to my Mom & Dad. The best thing that I loved about you was your laugh! The last time I saw you was at Kathy’s surprise birthday party. Deepest sympathy! ♥️
Goodbye my sweet sister. I loved you so much. I’ve been at your side since I was born. No one will replace you in my heart. We laughed, we cried, we sang (married guys with (sky) to their last names, even was pregnant at the same times!! I know it’s beautiful there and it will be a happy time again when I see you❤️❤️❤️
Goodbye Joan.. I loved you indefinitely, and I’m going to miss visiting you daily. I was over your house all the time in high school and some of beginning of college; we laughed, played games, drank coffee, sat outside, and just enjoyed each others company. Thank you for all of the laughs and memories! I love you so much. Until we meet again one day ❤️
Goodbye Joanie you were a great gal I rarely saw you when I got sick with cancer but I always thought of you I saw you when I could have great memories of you and always will . Will see you again someday❤️
Joan was always a very sweet and special person.
She loved to play Bingo with my Aunts in heaven now ! Hope there is a Bingo Hall there!
I am sure she is at peace ! Sending my condolences to her Family!
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.
My beautiful sister Joni….we always had such fun together, but we also fought when we were kids.
I love my sister very much. I talked to her just two weeks ago, sadly, she didn’t sound like her old self.
We had fun reminiscing; we talked about our old age, which wasn’t as much fun. But I sure do love my little sister. I didn’t get to see her for the past several years, because I live in Minnesota, and I’m a little old to be traveling. Joni will always remain my fun-loving beautiful little sister. I miss her, and will, until I see her in heaven. I’m sure she’s one beautiful angel in heaven. Keep them laughing little Joni, and sing like nobody’s business with the angels. much love and condolences to the entire family
My dearest Joanie, I just learned of your passing from the Board of Education memoriam. What a sad day! We had so much fun working together at Siegel School. I used to give you a ride home everyday after work and we would sing Tony Bennett what fun we had! I am so sorry I didn’t keep in touch, but I retired and moved To Florida and lost contact with you. I know you are up there playing bingo and singing like crazy, Until we meet again my sweet Joanie! Prayers to you and your family.
