Name: Joan Louis "Schultz" Longino, 88
Died: Tuesday, February 9, 2010, in Sulphur Springs, Texas
Joan Schultz Longino, 88, a long-time resident of Sulphur Springs, Texas, passed from the flesh of this world into eternal life with her Savior, Jesus Christ, on February 9, 2010. She died peacefully at Carriage House Manor, in Sulphur Springs, where she had resided since July 2009.
"Joan" was born November 5, 1921, in Paterson, New Jersey, an 'only child' to her parents Rev. and Mrs. Herman Schultz. She attended Eastern Academy in Paterson with her lifelong friends, Mr. and Mrs. Doug (and Peg) Bush, until the untimely death of her father in the spring of 1937. She subsequently moved with her mother, Tracy, to Holland, Michigan, where she graduated from Holland Christian High School. She was an excellent student and basketball player. After attending Hope College in Holland for a year, she graduated from Butterworth Hospital School of Nursing in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as a Registered Nurse, in 1942. She married Joseph B. Longino, MD, of Sulphur Springs, Texas, in Grand Rapids, on December 29, 1943. Dr. Longino was an intern at Butterworth Hospital when they met and after their wedding was inducted into the U.S. Army as an officer and physician. The couple recently observed their sixty-sixth wedding anniversary. "Dr. Joe" remembered, "At Butterworth, she was an outstanding nurse. She was the one all the doctors wanted to scrub-in with them for surgery." Mrs. Longino practiced nursing at Longino Hospital in Sulphur Springs in the mid- to late 1940s before retiring to begin a family.
"Ga", as she was affectionately known to her grandchildren, was a devoted wife and loving mother and grandmother. Her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren kidded her about running Joan's Bed and Breakfast where the pancakes were legendary and the pies and strawberry shortcake were simply the greatest the world has ever known. She was a friend to many across the community. A keen observer of character, Joan did not suffer pretentiousness well and valued friendship, devotion, integrity and hard work setting those examples continually herself. She was mindful of civic service and active in many facets of the Sulphur Springs community. Without sacrificing needed time for her family, she was involved for many years - usually in leadership -- with the Lena Day Garden Club, the Junior Waverly Club, The Sulphur Springs Women's Building, Hopkins / Franklin County Medical Society, the Sulphur Springs Chamber of Commerce, the board of directors of the Hopkins County Dairy Festival, and the Women's Medical Auxiliary. She was a member of First United Methodist Church where she played the church organ for services for decades. For most of the 2000s and until fairly recently she played the organ for First Presbyterian Church. Always musically-oriented, she played the piano for a men's barbershop quartet popular in the area in the 1960s and also participated in a well-regarded ladies singing group, The Choraliers, during the same period. She loved dogs, particularly boxers, and with Dr. Longino raised numerous boxers in the 1950s and '60s. Her most beloved and last boxer, Dandy, died in 1978.
She is survived by her husband, Joseph B. Longino, M.D., of Sulphur Springs; her son and daughter-in-law, Joseph B. Longino, Jr. and Reyn Longino, of Dallas; her grandchildren Joseph B. "Beau" Longino III of New York, New York; Elizabeth "Libby" Longino, a senior at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC; Lee Longino of Dallas; her son-in-law, Gerald Davidson of Woodbridge, VA; and five caring and devoted nephews and their wives, three great nephews and five great nieces. Joan was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Stephanie Longino Davidson, in 2000.
A memorial service will be conducted at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, February 13, 2010 at First United Methodist Church with Dr. Dan Bonner and Rev. Charles Moore officiating. Interment will be held at 1:00 p.m. prior to the service at Sulphur Springs City Cemetery with Stephen Bonner, Eddie Ardis, Dr. James Longino, Steve Longino, John Sellers and Beau Longino serving as pallbearers. Visitation will be from 5:00 p.m to 7:00 p.m., Friday, February 12, 2010 at West Oaks Funeral Home Chapel. Memorials may be made to the Hopkins County Dairy Festival,
Arrangements are under the direction of West Oaks Funeral Home.
