JoAnn was a friend indeed long ago but never forgotten for the laughs and giggles.

JoAnn was a wonderful person and friend. She always kept me laughing and had a great story to tell. We shared so many memorable times. I will always value our 30+ year friendship. I know that heaven just got a lot more interesting and fun as JoAnn could always light up a room. God bless JoAnn on her journey. May peace and comfort be with JoAnn’s family, especially Mindy, at this devastating time.
