IN MEMORIAM
In Memoriam Our thoughts and prayers for the family and friends of
JoAnne Eaton-Morriss On Friday July 15th JoAnne Eaton-Morriss passed away suddenly, just shy of her 83rd birthday. JoAnne was an amazing lady who kept herself busy with bridge, golf, tennis, singing in the church choir, and remaining in touch with her sorority sisters of ZetaTau Alpha. JoAnne was the quintessential mother of four equally amazing children. She attended every family event through the years. JoAnne was an ardent supporter of our Museum and Guild, having involved herself in every event and program that the Museum of Arts and Sciences and Guild offered. Like many events through the years, JoAnne was present last year as the New West Wing of the Museum opened, as well as the Guild’s Festival of Trees Gala and the Museum’s Passport to Polynesia Night. She joined the Guild in 1997, and she was always “doing something” for almost 20 years. JoAnne served as the Guild President from 2009-2011. A mentor to many, she always had a kind word and lead by her example to support the Arts in the Daytona Beach community. JoAnne knew everyone and would engage many businesses as sponsors for the fund raising activities of the Museum and the Guild. We will miss this bright star, as I am sure that she leaves her legacy with all of us. JoAnne was one in a million and yes, she was a nice lady.
Additional thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of
Barbara Fanara
