Joann lived with us for 4 1/2 years after her mother passed. Joann added hugs and laughs to our household. Her family included us in family events and were so incredibly thoughtful and generous at holidays and birthdays. Joann loved her roommate Laurena, and worried over everyone in the household like a mother hen. She loved visiting the beach, harbor cruises, eating out, walks in downtown Portsmouth, jigsaw puzzles, baby Judy and decorating the Christmas tree.
Joann will be missed by her friends at Great Bay, her boyfriend Jeff, the ladies at the Senior Center and Mary, Kelley, Reilly and Laurena. ❤
