Sincere sympathy to the Priestman and Horne families on the death of Joan. She was an amazing woman with an indomitable enthusiasm for life and sport. She had a real talent for cajoling the most unlikely people into volunteering as witnessed especially during the World Cup.

President, members, and staff.

I was so sad to hear today that Joan has passed away. I was very lucky to have her as my hockey coach in Notre Dame many years ago and she was such a wonderful and enthusiastic teacher and much loved by us all. It was such a joy to see again in later years as I did from time to time. She was always such great fun and you felt better for having met her. May I offer my sincere sympathy to her Priestman and Horne families. I know she will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Joan.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Joan, a beloved tutor of hockey & fellow member of Milltown Golf Club. My thoughts & sympathies are with Joan & her family.

My deepest condolences to the Priestman family on the passing of Joan. Joan was one of the great legends of Irish hockey both on and off the pitch. I had the pleasure to speak to Joan on the phone for hours during Covid regaling all about her wonderful times on the hockey field. You really felt her passion for the sport. Hosting the Women’s World Cup in Dublin in 1994 wouldn't have happened without Joan's involvement. She really was a great woman and a stalwart of the sport. May Joan rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Norman and to all the extended Priestman family on the sad passing of Joan. May her soul Rest in Peace.

My memories of Joan are from my days in ICI. What stands out across the years was how she looked out for people. She had an eye for injustice and when she spotted any unfairness she was quick to act, often putting herself in the line of fire by doing so. We need more like her.
