Below is the official obituary of Ms. Joan as all in the mule industry knew her.  For years she could be found running circle around her husband, Mr. Charlie White, tending to his every need.  Ms. Joan loved the mules and especially wagon riding.  Ms. Joan could also be found in the driver's seat during a wagon class at a mule show.  Anyone knowing Ms. Joan, loved her.  She was a very special lady and this world will miss her large humor, take hold attitude and big heart.  Prayers for all family and friends.
