My deepest sympathy to Joan's family. Joan was an excellent physical therapist and one of the nicest and sincere person you would want to call a friend. She was always the lady and the her smile brighten the room when she was present. Joan had many friends and her death has left an empty place in our heart.##imported-begin##Fred Jesse##imported-end##
Dear Beebe Family- When I think of Joan, I think of nothing but laughter. As roommates in PT school so many years ago, we would study long into the night; just when we thought we couldn't learn one more fact, Joan would come up with some funny way to remember it and relieve the stress at the same time! My husband and I visited her in Berlin just before her departure and she kept us laughing the whole trip. Even sitting through an entire outdoor concert in the pouring rain, she was still making me laugh. She touched so many people in such positive ways. I am so saddened by her passing but I know she will always be remembered by those of us lucky enough to have known her. We will all miss her so very much.##imported-begin##Mary Reidelbach Lovern##imported-end##
Words can't even begin to say all that in my heart. I am SO lucky that Joan is a member of my family and I have and will always cherish every single moment and memory I have of Joan. She honestly is one of the most kind, generous and funny people I have ever met! I know that when you got to visit with Joan, she always made you feel like you were the only one in the room - she made everyone feel special and important. Joan I truly hope that you are in a peaceful place surrounded by loved ones. You will missed by so many Joanie! I love you and already I miss you.##imported-begin##Margie Orris##imported-end##
My sweet cousin, Joanie I will always remember you making our arrival in Hawaii go so smoothly; our dinners at my house where we would laugh so hard, we'd pee in our pants; going to see "Phantom of the Opera" (your treat); and your friendship. When our grandma died, we had each other to lean on. You played a very important part in my life, and I will always love you. If I had known our visit at my mom's 80th birthday would be our last, I'd have hugged you tighter. RIP until we meet again.##imported-begin##Jane, Randy, Patrick and Brett Kolterman##imported-end##
We will never forget Joan and her welcoming spirit! We meant the first time in Berlin Germany when our dear friends were stationed with her. Then again in Steilacoom Washington. Thanks for always welcoming us on our visits! Our condolences to the family of Joan, she will be missed by many!##imported-begin##Dan & Valerie Dorshorst##imported-end##
To the family and many friends of Joan; Joan was one of a kind. All who knew her loved her. I have worked with Joan at Gentiva for several years and became very close to her not only at work but in my private life. One of my favorite and last memories of Joan was at the Tacoma Old Town Blues Festival this past July. Joan joined our "annual" party on the lawn of the Job Carr Park and danced and sang the day away with us. She decided to buy a message (all of the proceeds went to breast cancer awareness) and when she was done she looked up with her hair standing straight out and says with a silly smile, "Now this is living; good friends, good music, wine and a message to boot!" I wish I had taken a picture. Please accept our deepest condolences and let me know if I can do anything. The world will never be the same.##imported-begin##Kathy Myer##imported-end##
Dear Beebe Family, I support you at this time of mourning. Joan was so dear to so many. She was fun-loving and oh so vibrant. Her joy for life was contagious and her smile was the best! I remember hiking treks in Hawaii. She was always up for some adventure. Her patients just loved her; she had such a tender way when she worked with them. They would frequently come by just to say Hi to her. Her sense of humor was priceless. I will miss this precious gal, but will never forget her. She lived a great life and is an example for all of us. Miss you Joan. Bonnie DeMars##imported-begin##Bonnie DeMars##imported-end##
Dear Beebe Family, I join in your sadness in losing Joan and I am sorry that I am unable to tell you this in person. We have lost a wonderful person who was certainly an angel on earth. Rarely are our lives touched by someone so deeply tender-hearted and selfless. I remain indebted to Joan for so many things. She lived a life chock full of giving, traveling, loving, and spreading goodwill. Joan walked The Good Walk and surely God is welcoming her with open arms. Joan's wickedly sly sense of humor almost matched her good deeds. I think Joan and I bonded on our first day in basic training (prior to the start of the Army-Baylor physical therapy program) when she cut her eyes at me as we both wondered into what we had gotten ourselves! Thirty-three years--two of which as housemates--and many fun stories later, my heart goes out to you in your mourning. I will sorely miss the much anticipated visits with my dear friend.
