Joan you were an inspiration and leader throughout my kindergarten teaching career starting back in 1968 with Church of England free kindergartens that became Anglican Kindergartens. Later we reconnected through OMEP and again your leadership and inspiration was outstanding. You will be sadly missed y us all but I am very grateful you were part of my career Shayne

To the family of Joan my sincere sympathy.
She always encouraged me in what ever I was involved with at work in the early childhood sector and for that I am very grateful.

Dear Joan, & family, we will miss seeing you every day. I wish I could talk to you more but couldn’t due to my deafness. I know I could book an interpreter to translate our conversations but I can see you are always surrounded by your family & friends so I was always comforted that you are Ok & seeing your friendly & kind face often I know we are connected in spiritual. I look forward to celebrate your life on Wednesday with interpreters. Love Karli and family, Simon, Bernhard, Magnus & Opal
