Phyllis and family, I am so sorry to recently learn of Joan’s death. She and I had reconnected on facebook and it was so nice to share our families with each other. Many fond memories growing up down the street from the Morken family. Thoughts and prayers with you all, Margaret (Blauvelt) Eckrich
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and so much more! Although, it has been many years since I have seen my cousin, Joan, I will always remember her beauty – in her loving heart, in her fun-filled spirit and in her dazzling smile! I am praying for you all, her loved ones, that God will continue to wrap His mighty arms around you to give you peace, comfort, strength and blessings during this exceptionally difficult time! Much love! Cathy Eckles Reagan

Joan and were best friends while in Real estate! People would mistake us for sisters! We stayed in contact but not as much as either of would have liked. I was blessed to be able to talk to her on her birthday, she said she wasn’t well but I had no idea. I will miss you my friend! Always
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Shawn and Sally Johnson ❤️
Your in our thoughts and prayers . Love Carol &Rex and Michelle Moehring
