Mary Joan Gefke, age 81, of Oregon, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, Dec. 23, 2010, surrounded by her family.
Joan’s time working on the UW campus during the Vietnam Era was one of the most exciting times of her life, and she would often regale anyone who would listen to her of the stories from this time of her life. In her capacity as a UW project specialist from 1962 until 1974, Joan worked closely on several important projects.
