Recollections & Sympathy For the Family

I had the privilege of regularly transporting Joanne when I was driving for the Adams Council on Aging years ago. I had many good conversations with her about her life, health and faith. I prayed with her frequently for her health and other challenges she faced. I believe she is now with the Lord in perfection and peace forever.

Very sorry to learn of the loss of Joanne. She was a regular client of our Wheels for Wellness program through the RSVP program (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of the Berkshires). The staff and I got to know her pretty well, and we appreciated her sense of humor, her spunk and how much she appreciated our service. She will be missed. Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to her friends and family. Rest in eternal peace Joanne.
