I was devastated when I saw on facebook that Joanna had transitioned. I saw her the week before she passed and spoke on the phone to her on Friday before the snowstorm. I told her that I would visit her next week. Nevertheless, God had a different plan. She was the leader of our group (Youth Felicitaries) teen girls of which my sister Rosie (Judy) Price and I was a member. I will never forget the teachings and directions she gave us on how to become young ladies, such as manners, etiquette and hygiene. We also contributed to the community by doing volunteer and charity work.
Just wanted the family to know that she has a special place in my heart. I thank God for placing Joanna Battle Price in my life for over 50 years. She was strong-willed, independent, faithful woman of God, a special friend and confidant.
May the Good Lord give you peace and comfort you doing this difficult time.
Rest In Peace, Love

Mrs. Joanna Price was truly a special, "independent" lady. A fond memory tthat I treasure is the story of her moving herself out of the Assisted Living Facility that her son, Fred Price, had painstakingly researched, found and moved her into. When asked why she moved out of the place without letting him know, she calmly stated that she "was not comfortable there and had found a place on her own which she preferred." She will be missed. Whenever I called she had words of wisdom to share and encouraging remarks.
Condolences are extended to the family.

Joanna Price was always loving, thoughtful and kind to Maurice and I. She was smart, ambitious and successful in all of her undertakings. Of course I met Mrs. Price through our best friend, Fred Price, her son. Our visits with Mrs. Price continued after Fred’s demise. From time to time we would drive up from Maryland and spend the day with Mrs. Price, of course our day was spent listening and learning from the experiences of her life and of course sharing a lunch at a restaurant of her choosing. Mrs. Price considered all of us her children. She will be greatly missed, but we will continue to apply the life lessons she shared, whether it is how she dealt with her doctors, bankers, landlord and life in general.

We send our deepest sympathy to the Battle/Price family. She has lived a long life and like everyone else had to answer God's call.
