(From Derfelt Funeral Home)Joan R. (Macy) Bohn, 85, of Joplin Missouri passed away April 16, 2024. She was united in marriage to Garland G.W. Bohn July 1, 1956 in Wichita Kansas where they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They were married 67 years. They lived in Columbus for 42 years where she was still a member of the First Christian Church and Retiree of the Columbus Telephone Company.
Known for her ornery sense of humor and love of adventure, she had a true passion for life. She treasured spending time with family and friends, and cherished all of their animals and plants at home. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. The family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing.
"There are many people in life that will never leave, even after they're gone."
