My baby sister Joan will be missed…she definitely was a free spirit who marched to her own beat…she loved her family so much, her faithful companion Gracie, her beautiful flower gardens and of course butterflies 🦋…may you be at peace ….💜
Mama Roo (as I called her) was always a colorful fun loving lady! I have spent a great deal of time w her as a teenager spending the night w her bestie to an adult needing advice or to vent. I will always be grateful to have known Joan and had her be such a supportive person in my life. Rip Mama Roo I will never forget you. 🦋
