I am so sorry to hear of Joanie’s passing.
I worked at the hospital with Joanie in a different department. She was a great worker.
The patients always came first. She would visit them to find out if they had a request. There would be something special on their meal tray.
She loved her nieces, nephews & their children.
Rest In Peace dear Joanie.
Hugs & prayers my friend.
