Joan Fawcett Lassle 74, went to her heavenly home on Wednesday November 23, 2016 at the Hospice of the Hills in Rapid City, S.D. Her firm belief in God supported her in her struggles and ultimately gave her peace. Her fear of flying is gone - she soars!

Joan worked as a waitress, short order cook, at the saw mill, and in the kitchen at the hospital, but her favorite job was working at Pahaska Tepee outside the east gate of Yellowstone Park.
She loved the great outdoors, fishing, multiple crafts, including making jewelry, gardening, cooking and spending a lot of time with her children.
She was devoted to and loved being part of a large and extended family. She enjoyed the family reunions and did so much to make them fun. She loved to shop (Wal-Mart) where she could find bargains to put in the door prize bags (100+) that she did for every person attending.
Joan loved all animals and they loved her.
