Joy was when my first religious house Cleveland. My experience of her was that she was a serious woman who understood and was grounded in her own faith. I remember there was a lot of kindness about her. And she was a very good pedagogue. I appreciated the fact that she had more guts than most people. She was very likeable and had a great laugh.

Joy and I were roommates when she arrived at the Institute. My experience of her was that she lived a life of joy, embodying the spirit of her name. Peace and love,

Dear Herman,

So sad to hear this.  Although we lost touch over the years, she remained one of my most favorite people from our days in Chicago and beyond.
Teaching in Centrum preschool with her leading our small (but mighty) team, is a very fond memory!   She was passionate and caring and now sorely missed.   Please let us know if there is a service for her planned.

Lots of love to you and the boys,

Jill

Subject: [Oe List ...] Death of Joy Warner
 
Joy Warner, my first wife of seventeen years and Order member from 1967-1975, died peacefully last night at 8:27 pm Mountain time after an extended illness with Alzheimer's.

Her second husband, Richard Kruch, predeceased her. She is survived by our two sons who both live in Denver as she did; Nathan who is married to Abby and has a nearly 13 year old daughter, Risa, and a 10 year old son, Desi. Brendan who is newly divorced and has an 8 year old daughter Luzia.

If you care to get in touch with either, Nathan he seldom uses email, his mobile number for texts and calls is (720) 448-0183, and Brendan's email is ilmacizo@gmail.com and his mobile number is (919) 360-2920.

Joy had a great spirit. She loved working with children and taught in special ed for around thirty-five years in Denver. 

While we were divorced we co-parented and were friends. I am filled with sorrow at her passing. 

Herman
