    I am so sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. I worked with Joan at UNMC in the OR. Great nurse and great human being. I was part of the lunch group of retired people from the Med Center, so I did see her at lunch and she always looked great and was fun to be with. She will be missed.

    My condolences to Fred and all the family. I worked with Joan at the Med Center. She was a wonderful person and a very dear friend. We had many adventures after we retired, from Arbor Lodge in Nebr. City to Lauritzen Gardens to Women of the ELCA activities. I will miss her so much

    Please accept our sympathy in your loss. Joan was an outstanding nurse. Always very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I knew Joan while at Midland and Immanuel and she will be missed.
