Joan Vandrey

Joan Vandrey passed away on January 27, 2015 at the age of 67 after a courageous battle with Pancreatic Cancer. Joan’s husband Jobst, and sister Marian were with her as her journey into the next life began. Other than her husband of 45 years and sister, Joan is survived by many extended family members.

A private Celebration of Life service will be held in Baltimore, Maryland at a future date.

    Dear Jobst and Marian:

    Joannie will be greatly missed. We miss her already as we haven’t seen her anymore working in the garden and reminds us of the song ‘can’t you come out and play in your empty garden’. Please count on us for anything you need.
    With love, Vince, Simone, Mat & Cloe

    Jobst, I know that it is difficult to lose someone who you have loved so deeply and so completely for so many years. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time. Randy

    To Joan my beloved sister:

    God saw you getting tired,
    When a cure was not to be
    So he wrapped his arms around you,
    and whispered, “come to me”

    You didn’t deserve what you went through,
    So he gave you rest,
    God’s garden must be beautiful,
    He only takes the best

    And when I saw you sleeping,
    So peaceful and free from pain
    I could not wish you back
    To suffer that again

    I love you baby sister!!!!
    Marian
