Joann was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister and aunt. She was honest but not to a fault because you knew you were still loved. She was unbearably funny, a self proclaimed “feisty old lady” who made everyone feel welcomed no matter who you were. She “set up shop” for her self every place she felt was home. Joann was everyone’s friend around a cup of coffee and a cigarette. She would nickname everyone she loved including her “love bug” Araceli, who made her last a decade worth living. The family would like to give a special thanks to Journey Hospice for there supporting us in Joann’s transition.
