Our precious Joanne was called home by our Heavenly Father early Tuesday morning. She joins her Mother, Father, all her sisters, brothers and her beloved nephew Paul, and many friends, all of whom rejoice at her homecoming. A more generous spirit and kind soul there never was. She volunteered her time and resources to many organizations including the church's food distribution service and the SPCA. She loved her family beyond measure and the love was returned to her by all who were blessed to know her. Always wearing a gentle smile, she was quick to join in. She was active in her friends groups, particularly the Geezers. She loved games, reading, animals, children, and music (especially Elvis!) She was bright, quick-witted, and animated, sharing stories and memories. She loved to laugh, even at her own expense. She was sensitive, (known to cry at the drop of a hat,) giving, empathetic, compassionate, patriotic, and spiritual. She loved Jesus and left us in the peace of knowing she would be soon be in His presence.
