Joanne loved to travel, whether it was to faraway lands or her family in various parts of the country. Joanne was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, Dallas Needlework and Textile Guild and East Texas EGA. She continued to stitch until the very end, however, her greatest pride and joy was her family. She is survived by daughters- Dianne Wilterding & husband Hershell William and Lucy Stewart; sons- Captain Bruce Stewart, USN (RET) and Dean Richardson; grandsons-Chris, Blake, Danny, Drew, Connor, and Joey; and granddaughter Katie. Memorial Services will be held October 28, 2013 @ 1:00 PM at Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, 14115 Hillcrest Road (NW corner of Spring Valley and Hillcrest Roads).
