IN MEMORY OF JOANNE GOERS
Written by Rosemary West
I wish I could remember how many years Joanne Goers worked at All Seasons Crafts...more than 15 years. I do remember that our same group was all working together before the 1987 convention in Dallas. We always had such a great time preparing our booth at convention every year. And then getting to travel to new cities and enjoying the convention together was always fun and full of excitement and laughs. Joanne was always the “super salesman.” She loved promoting new books and products and was always very knowledgeable about them which was wonderful for the customer. We won’t forget her “blue light specials.” Joanne loved everything about painting and being involved with her Fort Worth chapter and SDP. It was a very big and important part of her life.
