  • Joan and Arnold are dear family friends, through Atlantic Garden City United Church. I am the eldest daughter of Ed and Marney Scribner and moved to Illinois in 1999. Joan was always a shining light, warm, well-organized as the Events committee chair and I especially enjoyed singing Tenor with her in the choir. MANY happy, cherished memories! On behalf of our family, our sincerest and deepest condolences. - Posted by: Lisa Lynch (Scribner) (church friend) on: Jun 12, 2015
