Joan E. Hajda

I first met Joan in 1967, in Markham, IL through Mitch Hajda’s friend, George Bishton, who I was going with at the time. I have to say we hit it right out of the ballpark when we first met. I had never met anyone sweeter or kinder to me then she was with the fact that we had just met that evening. From that point on, you could have said we were inseparable. We had stored some wonderful memories together. Laughter was our best feature, to say the least! Her laugh was irreplaceable but her smile brought out her best features. I shall never forget it. We were a team back then. In 1970, I believe, is when Mitch and Joan and their two little ones, Joey and Tiffany left Illinois and moved to Arizona. I had almost 3 years being with Mitch and Joan and stayed friends with them through letters across the miles to Arizona and vice versa. Was such a shock to me when I heard of Joan’s passing this year, 2022. Just couldn’t be or shouldn’t be, Will miss her with all my heart! My condolences to Mitch and his family. They lost a precious part of them, amen. God bless and give you peace.

She was my friend since we were 13 years old. I loved her with all of my heart. Going through Jr. high and Senior high school together..well, you could say we we partners in crime…we has many escapades and many laughs. She had the best laugh ever. She was such a blessed soul. I am so sorry for the loss of Joan. Our lives were so much richer becauswe she touched them. I will miss her every day that I live. My love goes out to Mitch, their children and grandchild…and exrended family and friends. Joan was a shining star; now she resides in heaven. My deepest condolances.

Dear Mitch & Family, We are very sad for your loss. We hope you all will remember all the good times that you spent together.

Such a beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman! Thank you for letting us know about it. It brought back great memories of family and happier times. Wishing you all peace in the days ahead.

Thank you so much for letting me know about the video slide show. It was so nice to see my sweet cousin in the pictures of her life. She was a special lady and I along with many people will miss having her in our lives. Deepest sympathies to all of the family.

I am sending my most sincere condolences to the entire Hadja family. I have known Joan as my best friend Tiffany’s mom for the better part of 35 years. I will always remember the Fourth of July cookout we would have. Joan would always walk in the room with a big smile on her face and brighten up the place. She will be truly missed.
