We knew Joanne and Bob when he worked at the Post Office in Sebring with my husband Al. We spent time with our friends back then. Then one year we drove to Lowell and spent the day with Joanne and we visited with her Mom too. Your Mom was such a delightful lady and will be missed.
I lived next door to Joanne’s aunt Kay Fox for over 30 years. They are a wonderful and caring family. So sorry to heard of the terrible accident. Praying for peace for the family. Sue Lockhart

Such a gift Joanne was to everyone. She gave love to all she knew. She shared her later life with David, giving him happiness and joy.
My condolences to all of Joannes families. I pray for their healing from this loss. May she rest in peace with Jesus Christ.
Joanne was a wonderful, strong, and kind woman. I always enjoyed her company—she was so much fun and always willing to lend a helping hand. I especially cherished getting together with Joanne during the holidays. She made the most delicious baked goodies and brought so much warmth and joy to every gathering. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
