Sunderland Elementary
Named Blue Ribbon School
Sunderland Elementary is one of six
schools selected as a Maryland Blue Ribbon School by the Maryland State Department of Education. The selection, announced Dec. 5 at the Maryland Board of

Calvert County Superintendent of

Joan Hens Voss
Joan
Hens
Voss, 86, of
Sunderland,
MD
passed
away December 1, 2016 at
Prince Georges
Hospital Center.
She was born
April 6, 1930 in
Buffalo, NY to
Francis Xavier
and
Frances
Bertha (Schneider) Hens. An exceptional student, Joan
was raised in Hamburg, NY and went to
college in Buffalo, NY. She graduated from
DYouville College with a degree in English; she was also an active participant in
the colleges drama program and performed
often in college productions. After college,
she was employed as an elementary school
teacher in Buffalo NY. On January 28,
1956, Joan married Fred Edmund Voss in
Hamburg, NY a marriage that lasted nearly
60 years before Freds passing in 2015. As
her family grew, she chose to stay home
and care for her seven children (7GR8KDZ). During their marriage they lived in
several locations, including Rochester, NY
and Matawan and Westfield, NJ before settling in Sunderland, MD. Fred and Joan remained very much in love until his passing
last year. From 1982 to 1989, Joan was the
Director of Religious Education at St. John
Vianney Church and was later employed by
the Calvert County Office on Aging, retiring in 1995. Even in retirement, Joan remained very active in the Catholic Church,
as one of the founding members of Jesus
the Divine Word Parish where she spent the
majority of her free time assisting others.
The most important things to Joan were her
family and Christian faith; and she lived out
her faith on a daily basis, always willing to
share the message of Jesus with a friend
or a stranger. She was an ardent believer
in the power of prayer to change lives. In
2002 Joan was awarded the Order of Merit.
The highest honor a layperson can receive
as a member of the Christian faith.Joan
