Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the Pax and Boeke Families during this difficult time. Joann is remembered from the days around the Burkettsville Community (many years ago), and then in more recent years as a fellow worshipper at weekday Mass at Holy Trinity and short visits after Mass with the chance to catch up on the in between years. Joann will certainly be missed.

My condolences to Joann's children. Her life has touched the extended Pax and Lefelt families. My sympathies goes out to all of them too.
I regret that I cannot be with you all. Age is slowing me down some.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. She was a wonderful person. She was there for me when I lost my mom in 2008. Prayers and thoughts are with all of you. May memories guide you in the days and weeks ahead.
