Joanne Soper Obituary
SEPT. 13, 1946 - NOV. 29, 2023
Joanne "Jody" Soper joined the board of Santa Fe Living Treasures in 2009, serving as treasurer, and an integral member on many other levels. She told us our mission appealed to her great love of the city and all the wonderful people who have contributed to making it a fabulous place to live, work, and thrive. She believed that our Treasures came from all walks of life and brought a lifelong commitment to making a difference - without which Santa Fe might be just another pretty town with very little character.
SFLT was honored to have Jody on board. We were blessed by her dedication and promotion of our mission and loved her for her selflessness and love of life. She was a true blue Santa Fean, since 1969, and will remain indelibly in our hearts. Thank you Jody. May you rest in peace, dear friend.

Sorry to hear. I worked with her mom. Jody had more energy and a reservoir of smiles that filled a galaxy. She is a special being. She was called home to light up heaven. So much charm and style wit and intelligence. I really liked her and her mom. - Jim Peterson
