I knew her through her brother and much phone calls. What a beautiful patriotic soul
Will miss my sweet, gentle friend who was always so kind and generous to myself and my family during the 14 years we knew you. Marie, Jim and Garry Taylor
My heartfelt sympathy to the Hess family. Joanne was a wonderful person, always giving of her time and energy to support her many causes. I came to know Joanne while she was a member of the Rehoboth Beach Planning Commission to which she was a valuable asset, and later the Farmers' Market. Joanne was a lovely lady. She ill be missed very much.
I was at Bryn Mawr College with Joanne in the early '50s. We were friends who sadly lost communication in later years. It has been wonderful to read of her industrious, productive, innovative community life in Rehoboth. I praise her life and memory. She is a great loss, but obviously her contribution lives on.
I know the Greatest Of All Lecturers has reserved a front row seat for you, Miss Hess. May you take an honored place among the many greats who are already there and waiting to welcome you.gxja
May God receive you and bless your family. You hired me and that let to a fabulous career at NGS, for that I thank you.
She put the Lecture/AV Department on the masthead! I am grateful I could contribute. Joanne gave her all to NGS and I was glad I was there to do a small part. She was one of a kind!

Our families have known each other for over 70 years. I was born in San Francisco a year before you. Out fathers went to high school together in Utah.
So sorry to hear of your recent illness and passing.
I enjoyed working with Miss Hess at the National Geographic Society. She was a true blessing to me. Miss Hess was very kind and always asked how my children were doing in school. My son Maurice was special to her.
Miss Hess, may your soul rest in peace.
Lovingly,
Margaret Tulloch-Weir and family.
