JoAnn Kasden Obituary
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on March 3, 1942, she was the daughter of Joseph and Dorothy Tamano. JoAnn and her husband, Louis Kasden, were married for 55 years and have three children, Louis Kasden Jr. and his fiancee, Monica Zinchiak, of San Diego, Calif., Faith Underwood and her husband, Eddie, of Beaverton, Oregon, and Larry Kasden and his wife, Deana, of La Mesa, Calif. JoAnn leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Michael Barber and his wife, Eunsook, Robert Barber and Coral and Hayley Kasden; as well as four great grandchildren, Madison, Garion, Jolee and Corvin - who brought so much joy to her life.
JoAnn was the eldest of five sisters. In addition to Valerie Tamano of New London, she is survived by Donna Tamano of New South Wales, Australia, and Daria Padegimas of Allen, Texas. Another sister, Tami Morales, died in 2004. She also leaves behind a host of nephews and nieces.
After relocating from East Hampton, where JoAnn and Lou raised their children, they traveled extensively throughout the world and, through Lou's work, lived in Denmark, Yugoslavia and Mexico before retiring to California. Their beautiful home is filled with treasured mementoes of this exciting period of their lives. JoAnn was deeply loved by her family and friends and will be sorely missed by all those who knew her.
All services will be private and held in Chula Vista, Calif.
In lieu of flowers, donations in JoAnn's memory may be made to the American Cancer Society.
Byles Memorial Home, New London is assisting the family locally.

Aunt JoAnn was just so special- the beauty from within drew you in- whether family or friend. She and my mother were close, and although my own times with her were too brief, we bonded as well. I am so thankful that I was able to see her in March, spent a lovely afternoon and evening with Joann & Lou.
Ever the gracious hostess, without letting on how tired she was, she said that she didn't want to throw me out, but she knew I had other places to go. When I hugged her goodbye- had I but known it would be the last time- we held onto each other for a long time. I will miss her smile....rest easy Aunt JoAnn, I am sure my mom was waiting for you with open arms. My deepest sympathies to Lou & the rest of the family. Love you, Darlene
