Obituary
Send FlowersTough Cookie, Soft Heart
JoAnn Tabeek worked in the World Trade Center for more than 20 years, always for Cantor Fitzgerald. "She was dedicated to her job," said Vincent Milotta, Ms. Tabeek's fiancé. "But she wanted to get out and retire in three years. We had already gone to Florida to look around for a place."
When she wasn't working, Ms. Tabeek, who was 41, spent time with Krystal, her 11-year-old daughter from her first marriage. She liked to shop for clothes. Often, on weekends when Krystal was with her father, Ms. Tabeek and Mr. Milotta would motor to Atlantic City. "We liked to go down and see a show and eat," he said. "We liked being together."
At work, Ms. Tabeek was all business. But appearances often deceive.
"The first impression was of one tough cookie," said Jennifer Megna, a friend and former co-worker at Cantor Fitzgerald. "But once you got to know her she would give you her heart. You could call at 3 or 4 in the morning and talk to her for hours."
On Sept. 13, Ms. Tabeek's body was found, one of only seven to be recovered thus far from Cantor's offices.
"I have her engagement ring around my neck," Mr. Milotta said. "She is with me all the time."
Guest Book
Dear Mr.Milotta. My name is Luann Capalbo-Tabeek, I saw Joanne's name on the internet and I thought I would wright to give you my condolences. I was married to Shef Tabeek (cousin?) I was married to him for 28 years and he passed away from Covid in 2020. We were living in NW New Jersey at the time. I was sick also, being critical and almost died. Covid caused me to have to live in a nursing home because I lost my ability to walk although physical therapy is helping me to get back on my feet....

I never met you in person, but I looked you up online and wanted to leave a little message. My grandpa recently passed away, one of the most amazing people to have ever graced this earth. In his garage, tucked in some of his things, was a remembrance tag from a benefit he attended here in Iowa. He had your name on his tag, and he kept it. And put it in with some of his favorite stuff. And on the back he wrote, "Save a good seat for me up there." I hope you did.. he is great. You will spend...
