Obituary: Joan Loader Haglund

Joan Loader Haglund "Joanie" Joan Loader Haglund, age 66, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family November 3, 2006 due to a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Joan was an icon of strength, courage and compassion to everyone who knew her. Her smile and warm personality left a lasting impression to those who met her. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten because love is eternal and she has now become a part of every soul that loved her. Joan's memories will always bring joy and happiness and a smile (a Joanie smile). Her legacy and joy in life include three beautiful children, Sherrie (Art) Kline, Pamela (Steve) Irvine and Julie (Rory) Klungervik; eight grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Joan was born December 8, 1939 in Salt Lake City to Virgil and Zelma Drake Loader who preceded her in death. Joan was married in the Salt Lake Temple to Douglas Haglund (later divorced) and met Shawn Hansen who became her husband and soul mate. She is survived by her three loving brothers, Johnny and Richard Loader and Bill Barnes.
