Joan was a friend of many year and became a member of our Little Esquire Slo Pitch team when we were (some of us) 40 years old +We played for different Sponsors but # the end Esquire Restaurant winning in City League. Featuring the oldest team actively playing. Four of us went to a Badger football game every year and faithfully meet for early Supper the third Wednesday of the month, then lunch....etc. There were five of us by then..A wonderful 1st base woman and friend that was our leader along later with Wes. My! will she be missed and remembered. The whole team loved and admired her. A Treasure for sure. She is free now. Helen F.

My dear friend you were so much a part of my life. We laughed, we cried and we knew no matter what we had each other. You were strong, confident a master at quilting and caring for Wes, Steve, Greg and loving the great grandsons. Always ready for a challenge, travel, bridge. Our to tomorrows will never be the same without you.

Greg, Lisa, Ryan and Bri - You are in my thoughts and prayers. Be kind with yourselves in this time of grief and allow the ebb and flow of emotions to guide your days. I'm so sorry you have an emptiness in your heart and pray that at times they can be filled with laughter and memories but even for a moment. Love, Di and Greg Blum

Wes and family. I read the obituary in shock and was and still am saddened by Joan’s passing. All the years w worked together at MSCR she never one disappointed me as one of our sports team and her kindness toward me and Rita was unwavering We were always met with a smile and when our conversations turned to family she would smile even more as she shared how proud she was of her entire Roscoe family. She will always be remembered by us as one of the “good people” and our lives are better because of our interaction with a special lady. Our most sincere condolences and her love for you will get you through this difficult time. Dave and Rita
