Joan M Schafer

Oct. 31st, 1930 – Jan. 17th, 2020

Joan passed away peacefully at Bee Hive Homes in Columbia Falls with her daughter, Kellie, by her side. She was 89 years old. Joan worked for J.C. Penney’s for 40 years. She started at the store in Bend, Oregon, then transferred to the Lebanon store. When that store closed down, she went to the store in Eugene. After retirement, Joan volunteered at the Lebanon Community Hospital, for 20 years. In 2012 Joan moved to Montana to be closer to her daughter. Joan was preceded in death by her parents, sister and brother. She is survived by daughters, Denise and Kellie; her granddaughter Shawna; and a great-grandson Kanaan. Her family would like to thank Bee Hive Homes, as well as Home Options hospice care, for taking such great care of her.
