Joanne was a special friend for many years.We were neighbors in the Dougherty Lake subdivision. We shared many life stories as we did our morning walks in
the late 70s and early 80s.We were together the morning Gary died...We watched the children grow up and marry and go on with their own lives.I cherish my memories and will miss Joanne. I know she is at peace now and for this
I am thankful. Pat Owens

Joanne was a dear friend and bridge companion. I was so very saddened to learn of her passing. I spent many days playing bridge with Joanne and loving stories about Charlie and Katy. She was indeed a proud mom and grandma! Margie Halley
