Joan Demer Obituary
We are sad to announce that on October 18, 2023 we had to say goodbye to Joan Demer (Marion, Virginia). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
She was predeceased by: her daughters, Sharon and Terry Lynn Demer; her parents, Margaret M. Douglas and Gavin R. Douglas; and her brother Russell Douglas (Biskit).
She is survived by: her aunt Hazel; her husband James Demer; her children, Lisa Demer of Anchorage, Alaska and Kevin Demer; her daughter-in-law Pam of Portland, Ore.; her daughter Tracy Thompson of Marion; her brother Gavin L. Douglas (Garry Mealor) of Allen, Texas; and her grandchildren, Sarah, Drew, Taylor Lee, Noah and Trey. She is also survived by three nieces; many cousins; friends.
In lieu of flowers, JoJo requested that you consider a donation to one of her favorite causes: The Lincoln Theatre (https://www.thelincoln.org) in Marion, where daughter Tracy is executive director, or Dolly Parton's Imagination Library through the Smyth County Chamber of Commerce.
