JOAN HACHEY
It is with great sadness that the Directors of the Classic Country Music Reunion (CCMR) announce the passing of one of our founding members - Mrs. Joan Hachey, who passed away on Sunday March 25th.
As many will be aware, Joan has been dealing with some very serious health issues over the past few years and has been unable to participate in CCMR activities for some time.
Joan was a lady of quiet dignity, liked by all who knew her. Along with her husband Lorne, who served as President of CCMR for many years, she also served on the Committee and worked quietly but faithfully for the good of the annual event from day one. Always a lady of detail, she enjoyed registering the open mic participants, and spent hundreds of hours over the 21 years of the CCMR keeping track of the singers lineup. Never one to seek the spotlight, Joan was one of the hard workers who always seemed to be there behind the scenes when something needed to be done. She will be sadly missed.
