Joan Austin's death on 6/5/2013 brought an outpouring of love in Yamhill County. For example, see this photo (taken afternoon of 6/8/2013 by Mac News) in Dundee. Also, a reader board with "JOAN WE MISS YOU" was seen in Newberg. Mac News assumes there were more signs with heartfelt messages. A former Linfield College trustee, she received an honorary degree from the college.
