Joan Bailey Obituary

Still miss this beautiful woman.

No words to Joan's family can express my sympathy for their loss. She was a free spirit who lit up a room when she entered it. She loved life and lived it fully. She loved her family and beamed with pride when she spoke about them . She was so excited about her grandson and a grandchild on the way . She spoke of the joy and fun she had when she spent time with her beloved mother. She was non-judgemental of others . Her infectious laughter would make me laugh everytime. I will miss you ,Dear Oleander, and hope I will live life with the same zest. There is such a hole without you . Thank you for being you.

Kind and caring, Joan exemplified a true healthcare professional. She will be missed.

Our condolences to all the members of the Langenbrunner family, especially Mary, Tom and Sue who we have known for many years. Joan was a lovely person. Though we did not know her well, Joan was always a joy to be around. Jeannette and Dave

Although I only worked with Joan a couple years, I felt as though I had always known here right from the start. She was such a warm, happy, person. always willing to help me out. She was so intelligent, and such a great leader. It was easy to see why many looked up to her. I will miss seeing her smiling face, and can only imagine the loss for her children and family. I know how much her friends and colleagues already miss her. Joan, please rest in peace. You are a wonderful nurse, mother, and friend that touched many peoples lives. You are so missed already. XO

My deepest condolences to Joan's family during this difficult time. I was privileged to know Joan at Seton. She was always smiling. She had to be a great mom and grandma

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dear Brian, Jim and family - I will never forget the joy I felt each time I would bring Dan over for a visit to the house in Rogers Park. I loved the great friendship Brian and Dan had and I also loved the opportunity to visit each time with Joan. We had so many wonderful chats. Her smile, cheerfulness and kindness are memories that I will cherish always. Fondly, Maureen Lawler & Family

We always looked forward to seeing Joan when she came back to Cincinnati. She went on trips with us and would do events with us and added her laughter and comments. Her outlook was so positive, I remember her telling us about her lucky jar where she put all the good things that happened to her that day into a special place. I realized when you do this that your whole outlook changes. Thanks To Joan who always brought laughter and an impish smile with her.We miss you.

Joan is a 40+ year friend, through nursing school to living together in Chicago,
through Amanda/David/Brian and beyond. I am filled with disbelief and deep sadness.
Mom Langenbrunner, Amanda, David, Brian, Denis, and all of Joan's current friends I share your grief.
Please accept my deepest condolences. I will not be in Chicago to celebrate Joan's life, but I cherish the
good memories and will search for that sea glass at the beach. Hugs to all of you. Rob (Gutzwiller) Lodi

I will miss her ready smile and fun and generous nature. My sympathy to the family.
