In Loving Memory

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Joan’s memory through a donation to one of two causes that were close to her heart. Contributions may be made to the Humane Society, reflecting Joan’s lifelong love and compassion for animals, or to the Windsor Rotary Community Foundation, which continues the spirit of service and community support that Joan embodied throughout her life. These meaningful gifts will ensure that Joan’s legacy of kindness and generosity continues to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
