Dear Tom, Dori, Jon, Jane, spouses, precious grandchildren and dear ones,
Duane and I were stunned and saddened to hear of JoAnn’s passing. She remains forever youthful and smiling as she did in the newspaper announcement. Our lives intersected when we were young and raising our families, facing all of the challenges head on. JoAnn always kept her family first and foremost. I remember her for her kind and gentle ways.
We all admired JoAnn’s grace and dignity and quick sense of humor. Know that there are still many local folks whom she endeared herself to and who remember her fondly. We pray for your strength.
Love to all,
Kathy and Duane Arena

I was an early fan of Jo Ann – we were in French class together at Horlick and she made my year when she accepted my invitation to attend Senior Prom.
What a lovely person.
I know she will Rest In Peace.
