To All The Spencer Family ~ I treasure my long friendship with Joan, such a beautiful, funny, loving, compassionate woman. Her family, for whom she leaves a great legacy, meant everything to her and was the main topic of conversation during our visits. We had lots of good times back in the Safeway days, when I began calling her "my other mother." Joan always phoned me on my birthdays through the years. She met life's challenges with courage and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. My loving thoughts and prayers are with you all, Bernice (Reimer) McDonald - Posted by: BERNICE MCDONALD (Friend) on: Apr 07, 2011

I enjoyed working with Joan and I admired her. She was a strong and family oriented person, and her family was her life. I am sorry we are in Arizona and are not able to attend the service. Shirley and Hector Paquin. - Posted by: Shirley Paquin (Co-Worker) on: Apr 06, 2011
