Joan was any employer’s dream! Always working her hardest, believing the company or job would fail if she wasn’t on the job daily. Up to her dying day, she wondered when the Dr. would allow her to return to work. She spent many years in the food industry, also managing a dry cleaners in Salt Lake City, and helping the special education students on the bus to insure they arrived to and from school safely. She also helped many of her elderly friends with their household chores and shopping. Anyone who she served felt her love and loyalty to her work.
A celebration of her life will be held at Rick Blymiller’s home (2540 W. Brucemont Dr. Taylorsville, UT 84129) on Sunday, September 7, 2013 beginning at 3:30 PM. Final services for Joan have been handled by Premier Funeral Services of Salt Lake City.
