Obituary for Joan Schuyler Macfarlan Jost Joan Schuyler Macfarlan Jost
Retired Greenbrier County Special Education Teacher Dies At Age 81

On April 26, 2021 Joan Schuyler Macfarlan Jost of Lewisburg, West Virginia, was called to glory and in to the loving embrace of our father, her husband, and her four legged friends waiting across the rainbow bridge.

She was born in Ridgewood, New Jersey on May 23, 1939 to Allen Dunlop and Helen Schuyler Van Ness Macfarlan.

She is preceded in death by her husband, John Mathias Jost of Reading, Pennsylvania.

She is survived by her loving son, John Michael Jost of Lewisburg; her siblings, Sandy and Nancy Macfarlan of Deltona Florida, Robin and Darrell Hatchett of Jacksonville Florida and Debbie and Robert Benz of Hobe Sound Florida.

Joan earned a teaching degree from Furman University and a Masters of Special Education from the College of Graduate Studies at Marshall University. She worked as a respected Special Education teacher in Greenbrier County until her retirement.

She was an avid ACC sports fan, strong supporter of animal rescue and transportation, and an active staff member for Camp Alleghany for Girls.

The family is grateful for all the prayers and heartfelt outreach during this emotional time.
