Although I only had the chance to live next door to JoAnn briefly, it was very clear that she had a huge heart. She knew that I was looking for work, so she always left the Job section of the newspaper under my doormat. Her kindness and genuine concern for others was evident from the first time I met her. To her friends and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. JoAnn will be missed!

I went to Moultrie with JoAnn and she was always sweet and kind to everyone. She was a very creative person and everyone liked her.
I am so sorry about her passing.
