My thoughts are with Kazmo and their children. I would run into Joann at the library and she was a great help in securing a meeting room for our various groups. I remember her at Zumba classes. She would always talk about her children and her pride in their accomplishments was very apparent. So sorry for your loss.

JoAnn was a wonderful,caring individual who gave her all to the library and over the past few years she strived to make the farmers market a huge success. We will all miss her lively spirit!

I am so very sorry for your loss, JoAnn was a very special person. I regret that we didn't have the time to reconnect, but I will always have our childhood memories and they can still make me smile when I think of her.

So very sorry to hear of JoAnn's passing. Our paths crossed over the years through Girl Scouts, church in Stuyvesant Falls and just around town. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband, children, parents and sister and all the extended family and friends who loved her.
