    So sorry to hear of Mrs JoAnn’s passing. She was such a sweet lady that I had the privilege of working with at the hospital for a year before moving to one of the Clinics. Praying for peace and comfort for her family.

    A great lady who started our day at KDMC with a wonderful prayer. One of the first to welcome me into the Lakewood Village family. I know she will be missed.

    Mrs. Joann was a very special person enjoyed working over 18 years with her at KDMC. No more call blast Mrs Joann ( her and my joke). Go rest high on that mountain now praying for your love ones but I know you are in a happy place.

    Joann was a special lady. She created flowers for my wedding back in the day. And we worked together at KDMC for all my fifteen years.
    My sympathy and prayers are with Mr. Gene and his family.

    I will surely miss Mrs. JoAnn. I enjoyed her offering the morning prayer each day at KDMC to start our day off. Prayers for her family.
    Sincerely,

    I enjoyed my time growing up in Lakewood Village with the Thames family. David (Joann's son) and I had fun riding go-carts and climbing trees.
    Joann was a wonderful friend/coworker. We looked forward to her smile as we passed by the switchboard daily. I cherished my time working with JoAnn for her 22 years at KDMC. Prayers for family and friends going forward. She has a wonderful heavenly home now.
