Joan is always in our thoughts.
We spent time with her and her wonderful sister Marylou and family. We have so many wonderful memorable moments with them all and hold them close to our hearts.
Our son Ryan met Joan on his honeymoon, he said she had such a spark it was one of the highlights of his visit to Ireland.
God Bless.

Deepest sympathy Mary Lou and family ..Joan and I played together as children on Kincora Road before we all went our separate ways and Kincora Road and Clontarf was a very different place from today .Rest in Peace Joan.

Condolences to Mary Lo and all of Joan's family. A life well lived. She had a great love for her birth place the Rotunda. Her generosity knew no bounds.Full of energy and love. Rest in peace Joan

Joan was such a wonderful neighbour. She turned our little section of Kincora Road from being a mere address into a neighbourhood. She was the first to ask me in for a cup of tea after I moved in; she was able to tell me the whole history of the road because she and her parents were some of its first residents; on bin day she would leave our bins back to us after they had been emptied; and any help she could provide you, she would. In this day and age when everyone seems so isolated in their own little worlds, having someone like Joan live nearby really made one feel part of a community - and that was a lovely feeling. I will miss her and all she brought to her neighbours on Kincora Road. My sincere condolences to Mary Lou and family.

Mary Lou and family, my condolences on the death of Joan. Joan had the loveliest smile and kind heart. You will miss her so much. May Joan rest in peace

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Joan. I have many memories of Joan as always helpful, warm and supportive when we worked together in Rotunda. Continuing after her retirement her voluntary commitment to Rotunda Foundation has been of immense benefit to the Charity. May Joan Rest in Peace

Condolences from me and all in the Clontarf Historical Society. We have missed you since you left the Society. Ar dheis De go raibh d'anam.

Joan was a wonderful woman and a great neighbour. We will miss her kindness and warmth and hope she rests in a peace she so richly deserves.

I will always remember Joan’s kindness to me when my grandmother died many years ago when I was a student midwife.
Condolences to Joan’s family and friends.

Sister Dillon. May you rest in peace. I worked with you on night duty and you were the kindest , warmest person that anyone would want to meet at any stage of their labour or delivery. You gave comfort and reassurance to both women and staff. A pleasure to have known you.

So sad to hear about Joan our wonderful colleague. Condolences to her family, may she Rest In Peace. I started in The Rotunda Hospital as a student in 1990 and had many years working with Joan who was our Night Superintendent (Assistant Director of Midwifery and Nursing). She was kind, funny and so caring. She called us all ‘sweetheart’. I have such fond memories of her. You could tell she loved her job and we loved her. RIP Joan
