    Dear Davis Family,
    I worked side by side with Joanie as a long distance operator at Ohio Bell Telephone for my 1st 5 years. When the operators were moved to Toledo we still stayed in touch. After their part of the company was closed and moved permanently, we were still able to stay in touch thru our OBT luncheons and reunions. After I retired I loved running into Joanie and Mel at one of our local lunch establishments. Joanie was a fantastic lady and wonderful friend. I am so sad to lose her here on earth, but hope she is one of the first I meet up with in heaven.
    I am so sorry for Your loss. She must have been a great Mom because she sure was a great friend. My Sincerest Sympathy, Cindy Rizzardi
