Joan Lerner Obituary

Joanie Lerner, What a doll! My name is Dianne. I was one of Bonnies dancing school buddies, so I got to know what a wonderful person she was during my 6 years during the 50s attending Margos ballet shool. She was always so funny and full of life. Those hours every Monday and Thursday were like a doorway into the Lerner house with the ever growing family and its ups and down. Watching your Mom go thru several pregnancies so nonchalantly, and her views on nursing, made lasting impressions on me. Your Dad became my own doctor...took me thru my adolescence, narcolepsy and into young married life, delivering my 1st baby, until we moved out into the burbs. Later, as an RN, I was privileged to take care of your dear dad at Marianjoy. If anyone of your kids would be inclined to walk thru memory lane, I would love it.....any old photos of Bonnie and I ?? would love to hear what has become of each of you. I moved to Florida in 2000. I hope someone gets to read this and call me at 5619727191

Dear Lerner Family:



My sister and I were treated by Dr. Lerner and Mrs. Lerner when we were children on 34th Street and Aberdeen in Chicago. Our Grandmother was one of their first patients.



Please accept our deepest and sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother, grandmother aunt, and great aunt.



Sincerely,



Shirley and Cynthia Vickery

Dear Lerner Family,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My very deepest sympathy to you. I didn't know Joan personally but she was such an integral part of our Michael Reese Nurses' Alumnae Association and she will surely be missed. The luncheons will not be the same without her.

Dear Family,

I am very sorry about your loss and send my heartfelt sympathy. We will miss her at the Michael Reese Nurse's Alumnae Association annual luncheons. She has been a warm hearted inspiration to all of us nurses.

Dear Lerner Family,

My deepest sympathy on the death of your Mother. I was shocked when I heard about it and I am so sorry I couldn't pay my respects because I was on vacation. She was a great lady and I will miss her very much. I have did her hair for years and will miss her coming in on Saturday.She was a very knowledgeable woman and I always trusted her judgements when I would go to her with my personal problems

She would always give me her expertise advice. I will miss her laugh but most of all just her being there. I will keep her in my prayers.

Dear Lerner Family, I was very sorry to learn of your loss of your mother, Joan. She and I were friends and our family were all patients of Dr. Lerner. She was a wonderful person, nurse, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. We moved to Michigan in 2001 when we retired but we moved from St. Bruno Parish in 1983. Until Dr. Lerner became ill my youngest son, Dominic, insisted he would see no other doctor so we drove in to see Dr. Lerner from our home in Lockport, Illinois. Your father and mother were the best! Condolences to the family on your recent loss. Fred & Virginia Sansone
