I only knew Joann a couple of months but in those couple of months she shared so many memories about her life. She was a wonderful woman with so many talents, she loved life & her family. Dorin you were the love of her life...she didn't want to go but her time to rest had come. I pray peace for your great loss. Joann would hound me to hurry up & sigh my son up for preschool the day I did she passed away.....Joann I will miss u!!! Funny smart & kind...God rest your soul

Dear Doren. Laura, David and your extended family,

My deepest sympathy upon the loss of JoAnn. There is much of her achievements I knew, some not known before, some now remembered and all admirable. We have been neighbors for so long and having you next door was a comfort and at times real help as well and so appreciated. JoAnn telephoned me about two years ago and I was glad to hear from her and her comments helped me then a great deal as always. I pray that her warmth and wisdom continue to give you comfort as surely they will. David Laczko

We have many fond memories of times we spent together. I recall JoAnn being crowned Queen at her Senior Prom in 1950 (I still have the photo) and other fun times. Once a Queen always a Queen and that she was. Doren, Laura & David, may you find Peace within knowing other share your loss. We offer our sincere condolences. Distance will not allow us to attend her celebration of life but we will celebrate with you within our hearts.
