JOAN MARIE MOORE March 25, 1949 – Aug. 17, 2022

Joanie! Grandma! Mom! With a verve and focus on what a positive attitude can bring to any person or group, Joan moved through life’s changes with a strength and humor that kept everyone around her smiling and strong. Car wrecks – walked away Love problems – talked away Hanging’ wallpaper, settin’ tile All home remedies treated with style. Cookin’ the soup, makin’ the pies Nights were for watchin’ the skies. And, her dahlias were a sight to behold Brilliant, flashy – coulda’ been sold. But given away, like her love to embrace, And, now with her spirit she’s taken her place, With the rest of the stars in that infinite space.

Her husband, Jim
