Joanne Donovan

I will never forget your Kindness and love. You opened your home and heart to my family so many times. Some of my favorite childhood memories are with you and your family, who also became family to us. Vacations, car rides, trips to the mountains, church and my confirmation. All of which were celebrated with you. To Joanne's family. I am sorry for your heart ache and loss. She lived a beautiful, full and well loved life. Sincerely, Tiffany Randall

We were greatly inspired by Joanne´s courage in aging so gracefully and by the care that her family so lovingly provided over the years. I felt a bond with her, partly because we shared the same first name but also because she was always happy to see me. We will miss seeing her but will keep her and her family in our prayers.

Joanne was part of our weekly game night. There were seven of us Connie Catherine Myself (Pat) the next four are deceased Peg Marilyn Marie and Joanne . Weekly one member sponsored game nite we had cocktails appetizers. A dinner, dessert then play a game cards, dominoes or several other games. It was the Host choice what we played . We had some great memories.

We are saddened to learn of Joanne´s passing. We enjoyed spending time with her and Spud over the years through our friendship that began at Holy Cross Parish. She was a devoted parishioner, Eucharistic Minister, and contributed much of herself to various committees and activities at Holy Cross. We miss Spud, and will miss her, too. Rest in Peace, Joanne.
