Joanna R. Mead

My deepest sympathy to Joanne's husband,sons and family. I was one of Joanne's many friends at Mount Mercy. Everyone loved her! She was so fun and funny and told great stories. Joanne's classmates are remembering her at a memorial mass this evening (Dec 2) at 6:30 at Queen of Heaven Church. We will pray for you in this time of great loss.

Our prayers and thoughts with the family, Cousin JoJo will be missed.

Our heartfelt condolences to Joanne's family and friends in California and to her sister Grace and brother John and all who loved her in Buffalo and Canada.
Love, Aunt Gracie Pentasuglio(Bluebird),Joe Pentasuglio, MaryLou, and Sue Montesano

Joanna was such a true joy to work with in OUSD. She added so much to our SLP group with her intelligence, her professionalism and willingness to work for our group.

We two had a huge caseload (and I was just going back to work after having children). Together, we tested over 100 students that year. We shared our...

I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I have such fond memories of Mrs. Mead from my early elementary years at Garrison Elementary school in Oceanside. She was a fabulous speech therapist and I've used many of her tips she taught me with my own kindergarten daughter. Praying for her family, she will be missed. God bless her.

May Joanna, always and forever, be delighting the universe with her humor, smile, and very large heart of kindness.
