My condolences to the Trabold family, Maryann, Scott, Charles, grandchildren as well as Joan's great grandchildren!

Joan (and Charles) were very loving people always a pleasure to visit & speak with.

I worked with them for the latter part of 30 years advising on all things financial.  Joan was always a pleasure to speak with and not one conversation did she not ask me how my children were doing! 
A wonderful listener and a pleasure to know.

I will miss our conversations, however Joan is finally with her husband Charles.  I'm sure they are catching up on the many years they were apart.

RIP Joan you will be sorely missed.

Dear Mom -
THANKS so much for all your love, thoughtfulness, kindness and always being “the voice of reason” throughout all these wonderful years.

THANKS for nudging Dad when he asked Mary Anne and I “You kids know what you’re doing?” You always have a way of saying the right thing - at the right time. 

THANKS for being so silently strong throughout the years - never complaining, never questioning why you - setting the extreme example for the entire family. 

THANKS for caring and loving us all!!

THANKS FOR BEING YOU!

You are one of the very few people that I’ve known that not a person ever said a bad word about- in fact all that was ever said was how wonderful you are. 

Your Billy Boy

I have some many great memories of Mrs. Trabold, and even though they are from a LONG time ago, they remain fresh in my mind. My mother and father, Bill and Peg Smith loved the whole Trabold family, starting with their meeting at the bus stop for my brother’s first day of school with Mary Ann. 

The memory that Mrs. Trabold always recounted to me was when, as a 10 or 11 year old I “rescued” someone from the bathroom by (likely) unnecessarily breaking down the door. That still cracked he up when I last saw her. But my parents memories could fill volumes. 

My wife, Alison, and I wish the entire Trabold family all the best. I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it to the service. 

With love and respect,

Bob Smith and Alison Dyer

My deepest condolences to the Trabold family.  Joan was my Mother’s cousin. My Mom name was Genevieve Nolan Meyer. I remember as a child visiting your home with my parents and Joan was always so kind and helpful. She helped my mother a great deal. Wishing the family our Lord’s comfort and peace during this time. “The memory of the righteous is a blessing “. Proverbs 10:7.

So grateful to have had you as my mother-in-law; I truly hit the jackpot!  You treated me like a daughter from the very beginning, always ready with a hug and a smile.  Nothing gave you greater joy than family . .  . and nothing gave us greater joy than to share ourselves, good times and bad, with you.

Although I will miss your presence with us here, I know you are still with us, your voice whispering to our hearts.  Rest in peace, Mom. ❤️❤️

 I could not have asked for a better mother- in - law . So much so ,that I called you Mom. You are a sweet, loving, thoughtful , and beautiful person.!!

Joan I will miss you, at least I have the wonderful memories. The  boat club the parties the Sunday drives and wondering where we should eat and
have our whisky sour. The laughs the tears we stuck through it  together.  We had a good life thank you. Don't ever forget it's 5 o'clock somewhere!  El

I remember Joan from St John's.  She was always so nice and friendly when she would come into the admitting office to pick up or deliver papers.  So sorry for her loss...my sincere condolences.

Mary Anne, Charlie and Scott,

We wanted to send our prayers and condolences on the recent passing of your Mother.

MomMom..It is an absolute blessing to have had you in all stages of my life. You were my most favorite person as a little girl, my home away from home, my v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n buddy, and my confirmation sponsor because you always knew best. As I got older, I cherished what you and mommy had and couldn’t wait to grow up and be just like you both! I got to share in joy of welcoming all my babies with my MomMom. You always made me feel like I was a rockstar at this mom thing! You were lucky to have had great grandkids but they are the lucky ones because it was you! They will always adore you, think of you, talk about you, look for you on the beach, watch you in waves, and thank you for always being the best there ever was. I hope you’re dancing in the sky and I hope those angels know who they have and cherish you forever! We most certainly will see each other again! Love you always! 
Lots of love, Melissa & Crew

My mom & my friend!!  I will love you always. We now have a beautiful guardian angel watching over us. Til I see you again… 💕 Mare
