Joanne Dirschel Obituary

Dirschel, Joanne of Waite Park passed away unexpectedly too soon on April 2nd. Just seven days into her 69th year and heaven gained a colorful character. Preceded in death by her parents, Clarence (Jack) and Theresa Peerman. Survived by her beloved daughters, Amy LaBuda and Carrie (Rob) Luebesmier along with grandchildren Kevin (Teresa) LaBuda, Laura LaBuda, Jared LaBuda, Brandon Gapinski, Tyler Gapinski, brother John (Carol) Peerman, sister Dorine (Gerald) Behrendt, sister Marilyn (Ken) Koch, many nieces, nephews, and friends. Joanne was big-hearted and hard-working. For 35 years (1980-2015) Joanne worked as a paraprofessional for St. Cloud Area School District #742. For 25 years she looked forward to two weeks at The Great Minnesota Get Together where she worked at the State Fair's Haunted House. She took her role as the crazy aunt very seriously, appearing at numerous grad parties in full costume. She loved bingo, a good drink, and laughter. Most importantly, Joanne loved people exactly as they were just as the Lord asks to. A celebration of her life will be held April 12 from 4-8 PM with prayer service and sharing at 7 PM at Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Homes 1900 Veterans Drive in St. Cloud. The stories will be plentiful. In lieu of flowers, memorials to family are preferred.

So very sorry to hear of Joanne's sudden passing. Enjoyed visiting with her numerous times each year at the State Fair Haunted House and marveled at how much energy she had. She always had that HUG waiting for you. I will miss that along with her smile. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Joanne and I were neighbors when we lived on 10th Avenue South. She, my sister and I would sit on her front porch and play 'jacks" for hours. My family then moved and over the course of time we lost touch. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to the family.

I was so surprised to see, that in her obituary, her daughter, Carrie, is married to Rob Luebesmier, who is the grandson of Alvina Buersken Luebesmier, my grandmother's sister. It is such a small world.

Rest in Peace Joanne.

I worked with Joanne at Apollo and loved seeing her smile every day. I was sad when she retired. She would still come to join us when we had potluck lunches after she retired. Personally, I loved going to the Bingo Emporium and chatting away the time as we played bingo together and I was sad when the Emporium closed as I only got to see her at work. I already missed seeing her daily at Apollo and now am so sad I won't see her again until we meet in heaven. She was an angel to many on earth and I am sure she is looking over her family and friends now from heaven.

I am so sorry for your loss. Joanne was fun loving and kind . She was always willing to help anyway she could. I wish I could be there to hear and share the wonderful memories of her life. Love , Margie Raden

So sorry to hear of Joannes passing. She was my son Rileys paraprofessional at Apollo High School. She loved him like her own son and supported him even after he graduated high school. She often bought him his favorite m&ms, attended his power soccer games and always checked to see how he was doing. Praying for her family during this difficult time
