Joan Marie Stanley, born in 1932 in St. Louis, Missouri and a thirty-five year Summerville resident and volunteer, passed away on August 26, 2010.  In 1979 she helped organize the first annual Flowertown Festival to raise money for the YWCO, now Summerville’s YMCA. Her later passions focused on fund-raising events for the Coastal Center.  Her life was filled with adventure, art, cooking, and good friendships. She is survived by her husband, Roy Stanley, Jr.  and daughters Holiday Hughes, Christy Hughes, Crystal LoPonte, four grandchildren and one great granddaughter.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Odyssey Hospice of Charleston.  A private ceremony will be held by the family.  May she rest in peace.
