Joan Doran (McKinney)

This is a e-mail sent by Joan's husband, to Mary Reynolds Callahan in response to a request for address update:

Mary: Hi, I received your letter today looking for an update of your class and I'm sorry to inform you that my dear Joni passed
away at the age of 62 on September 6, 2004. We would have celebrated our 42nd Anniversary in November of that year. She died
in her sleep of what they call cardiac arithmia. She left behind her son Patrick, daughter Jennifer and two grandchildren, Alicia
(now 9 years old) and Ethan (now 5). Her dad, Art Doran just passed away this passed May 11. He was 90 years old. Once the
children got into junior high Joni decided to go back to work and worked for the Cook County Farm Bureau in Rolling Meadows for
15 years. After the office moved to LaGrange Park she and I decided the drive was much too dangerous and she became
employed with Mars Insurance Group in Crystal Lake. She became an agent and was the office manger when she died after 13
years of service. We are all trying to cope in life without her, she was a very special person. So sorry to make this report, but I'm
sure her classmates who knew her would want to know. Best regards, Bill McKinney

Thanks Bill for letting us know. All of us who knew her will miss her as all of our classmates who have gone before us. Tim Strobert
