Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I write to let you know that our dear 
Joanie VerDuft, KCØGMI passed away peacefully early Tuesday afternoon, 
April 23rd, 2013.  Though her outward exuberance never showed it, she 
bravely battled diabetes for 25 years, and fought heart disease more 
recently.

Joanie had a deep love for ham radio and the many friends she met in her 
years of faithful amateur radio service.  She was a founding team member 
for HamCon Colorado and energetically served in various capacities as 
the organization's Treasurer, Secretary and Banquet Manager for its 
2003, 2006 and 2009 events.  At the time of her death, Joanie was an 
active, creative and spirited committee member for the approaching 
HamCon Colorado 2013 convention.

She obtained her Tech+ license in 2009, and was a strong supporter of 
D14 ARES.  She was a past member of the Colorado YLs and the Pikes Peak 
Radio Amateur Association (PPRAA).

Joanie was a devoted and loving wife, mother and friend, and was active 
in her church where she had served in the AWANA children's program for 
10 years.  She was born and raised in California, and was a retired 
cosmetologist having practiced in both California and Colorado for over 
40 years.

Joanie is survived by her loving husband Jerry, ADØA, her daughter Faith 
Collins and stepdaughter Debbie VerDuft, both of Colorado Springs; and 
their sons Jeffrey VerDuft of Savannah, GA, Randy Collins of Littleton, 
CO and Lorin Barnhart of Wray, CO.

A memorial celebration of Joanie's life will be held at 2:00 PM on 
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013 at the Woodmen Road Free Will Baptist Church, 
7465 Horseshoe Rd., Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Relatives and friends 
may attend a viewing and fellowship from 10:00 AM - Noon on Thursday, 
May 2nd, 2013 at Mountain View Mortuary, 2350 Montebello Square Drive in 
Colorado Springs.

We plan to honor Joanie's life at HamCon Colorado 2013, June 27-30, 2013 
in Estes Park.

Please keep Jerry and the entire VerDuft family in your prayers and 
thoughts as they move through these difficult days.

73,

Steve
