Among Joetta's many accomplishments, was her untiring work and assistance she provided seniors at the Delos V. Smith Senior Citizen's Center for over six years being a helper and beading instructor. For several years, she was a dog groomer and ran her own grooming salon. She was a loving and caring mother, wife, and sister. When her oldest brother became very ill, she took him in and provided the care he needed for a successful recovery. Just one example demonstrating how caring and compassionate she was. She was an amazing artist and once won an award from Dow Chemical for a painting of a doe and her fawn.

Joetta always welcomed family members for a visit, as she provided fun and inclusive entertainment, and, being a great cook, all enjoyed the times around her table.

Joetta will be greatly missed by everyone acquainted with her.

In lieu of flowers, Joetta's family suggests a donation in her name be given to either to the Delos V Smith Senior Center, the ASPCA or the American Cancer Society, in care of Elliott Mortuary, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, KS 67501.
