Justin was born in 1980, Brandon in 1982 and their family became complete with the addition of Katy in 1987. In 2006, Olivia's arrival made JoAnne and Steve grandparents. JoAnne loved being a homemaker, mother and grandmother. She knew what each of the kids liked and needed. Her spaghetti and porcupine meatballs became a family favorite. The Cannon family stayed busy going camping, playing games and spending quality time together. The Cannon home was always kid-centric and the center of activity for all of the neighborhood kids who knew that they would feel welcome and included. The Cannon kids all feel great pride that their parents created such a fun and loving atmosphere for them and their friends. JoAnne and Steve were dedicated Mariners fans and they passed this tradition to their children. JoAnne also enjoyed bingo. She and her sisters often ventured to SYSA for a good game on the weekend. JoAnne was preceded in death by her beloved husband Stephen; and her sisters Marlene Heinz and Sue Buchanon. JoAnne is survived by sons Justin and Brandon (Tara); daughter Katy; sisters Vicky DeJarlis and Karen Hume; granddaughter Olivia; and many nieces and nephews.
