Joanne Barnes WATTS

Joanne was such a wonderful & outgoing person! We met through my father, Gus Watts, and I am so honored to have known her. We had some wonderful adventures while she was in Mexican Hat, and I´ll treasure those memories for the rest of my life. She enjoyed the desert and its people so much, as she enjoyed life itself. Gaya con Dios, Joann, we´ll miss you!

Dear Dave, Cindy and Family, Please accept our heartfelt condolence on the loss of your mother, Joanne. Her wonderful obituary of a remarkable life enlightened us as to how all of you became such quality people whose friendship has enhanced our lives and so many others whose lives Joanne and you have touched. You are on our minds and in our hearts as you grieve her loss. Our prayer is that fond memories will sustain you as you adjust to life without her. Sincerely, Paddy & Teri Inman

I tended to this wonderful lady when she was at Candlelight Homes. She was so sweet and kind and I loved listening to her talk about her stories on life Rest well Jamie L

Joanne introduced me to one of the LOVES of my life, the cello. She paid for me to rent a cello until I was able to take over payments myself. We had played together in a quartet with all treble clef instruments and she suggested to me, why don´t you take up the cello? And so I did and fell in "love" with the sound of that beautiful instrument. Today I teach Suzuki cello at Holy Names Music Center. Thank you Joanne. I will treasure you always!!!

Sending condolences to Joanne´s family. I met Joanne while serving as Associate Minister at Unity South Hill in Spokane and through PEO. Yes, she was a remarkable, vibrant, thoughtful, caring and wonderful human being. So glad our paths connected. May loving memories comfort her family. In loving prayer, Rev Deidre Ashmore
