JoAn was my classmate at PGH School of Nursing. Being such a thoughtful person, JoAn was the honorary "coordinator" of our class and kept us all in touch about and with each other. She helped organize reunions and get-togethers. JoAn was sincere, genuine and cheerful. I was honoured to be her friend, classmate and share our knowledge of our profession. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

To Elinor and Carl and the entire Dale family, My heart was deeply saddened upon reading of JoAn's passing. She will be greatly missed by so many of us who always enjoyed a friendly, upbeat conversation upon meeting JoAn, first in a professional capacity and then later frequently meeting JoAn in her numerous volunteer roles throughout our community. This earthly world will be a little less bright without JoAn in it, however, those whom she loved and went before her will rejoice as JoAn joins them along with our Heavenly Father.

My heartfelt sympathy to all of JoAn’s family.
I know that she loved you all, because she always talked about her family with fondness.
I met JoAn in 1962, when we entered our nursing program at P.G.H., Class of ‘65. She has always been warm, generous and has been the linch pin for our class. She has always kept us together, no matter how far we might have travelled.
Besides her generous nature, she was brave and kind and upbeat always. I will miss her so much.
In sadness, Carolyn (Whitham) Runstedler.

To the Gifts Shop Ladies, Kevin and Vanessa, and the entire Dale family,
Please accept our sincere condolences with your loss of Joanne. When I was in training at the College I had the pleasure of having Joanne as an instructor and our paths have crossed many times since over the last 40 years, most recently when she was volunteering at the hospital Gift Shop. I used to tease her when she was banished to the front lobby to sell Nevada tickets but she was always so cheerful and I think she secretly liked being out where there were lots of people to interact with- and she knew so many of them. Her shoes will not be easy to fill in the various activites she was involved with and I know she will be missed terribly.

Elinor, Isabelle, and families,
I am sorry to learn about your family’s loss.
I know what an important part of your life, and the community, JoAn was.
When my Mom went back to St. Clair College (as an adult) to become a Nurse, JoAn was a source of support and guidance, and I know my Mom has a tremendous amount of respect for her.
My own interactions with JoAn were related to times I was volunteering for initiatives of the CKHA; she was a hard worker and someone who led by example. JoAn’s heart was always in the right place when it came to supporting the needs of the community and she will be greatly missed, I am sure.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
