Joan holds a special place in my heart. She was always kind and always smiling. She was a great motivator provided positivity when times were tough. She will be greatly missed. Sending all of my love to her and to her family.

Condolence from Steve & Debbie Onorato on March 28th, 2017 11:28 am

God bless the sole of our friend Joan. Although we have only seen her a few times over the last several years, we fondly remember hanging at their place on Arthur Street a “long” time ago, and the many annual Friends and Family weekends she hosted when they moved to Pennsylvania. God, please strengthen the Friends and Family that Joan now leaves behind, as we all celebrate her life.

Condolence from Adeline on March 28th, 2017 11:40 am

My deepest condolences. I did not know Joan personally but we would meet in prayer. It was the greatest feeling in the world to meet a sister in the Lord in this way. I will be praying for the family.

Condolence from John & Johnny Hartridge on March 28th, 2017 4:56 pm

Our sincere condolence to you and your
family. May she rest in peace.

Condolence from Dawn Pentecost on March 30th, 2017 6:12 pm

My prayers go out to all of Joan’s family. Our earthly world lost a beautiful soul, but I know that there is rejoicing in heaven. She is singing and laughing and playing the flute to the glory of God. She will be sorely missed on our earthly plain. Until we met again.

Condolence from Cousins Lea, Steve and Sherri on April 1st, 2017 7:03 pm

To Frank and all the Rutkowskis, Kaitlyn, cousins Sue, Joan, Gloria, Frank, Patty, and the many Taskowitz, Krupa cousins of multiple generations.

So profoundly saddened to hear of Joan’s passing and praying her entire family and friends, co-workers are all comforted as we grieve her loss. As I’d said at a family gathering a year ago about our brother Bob, also now gone, Joan “walked the talk” of her faith. So, I take heart to know she is in the hands of God on “the other side.” And with those we’ve lost before her. May they celebrate in Heaven her glorious arrival.

My cousin Joan was an intelligent, always funny, considerate, compassionate, sweet person who could take a joke and laugh along. Her life in Pennsylvania made it challenging to see her as often as we wanted but we, too, were out of state. She survived terrible losses with dignity, renewed faith and strength. I’m also sharing Sherri and Steve’s condolences.

With much love and prayers,

Condolence from Cindy O’Malley on April 2nd, 2017 12:32 pm

I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Joan in their time of loss. I met her only a couple of times but with her smile and compassion for others made her shine as a child of God. She will be deeply missed. May Joan be our guiding angel to give us strength and compassion for others the way she showed in her life here with us.

Condolence from Lea on March 17th, 2018 4:59 am

Thinking of you cousin and know we’re keeping your loved ones here in our prayers. May God continue to comfort them and may we always remember your laugh, smile and warm heart.
With love,
Lea
