I met Joann in the 80s at Valley street bingo. I stopped going until 2023 and met up with Joann...I knew her right away and she was the same great person I met way back then. I will miss her but I am glad I got to know her once more.

JoAnn was so kind to me the first time I met her in the early 1980 at Wright-Patterson AFB (NCO) club. A beautiful person inside and out!

I knew Joanne many years ago. When her son (Pepe) was little little, I baby sat for them. But my fondest memory was she and Dick playing hide and seek with us neighborhood kids at night. She was the best!

JoAnn was a wonderful, kind, and sweet lady. Her smile would light up the room. Her sense of humor was amazing.
Her only son, Jose´ is my son-in-law.
