Joanie was passionate about her family and loved decorating her home. She was always the "cool" mom and nonnie. The children she loved on extended far from just her own and was always there for anyone who needed her. She was there for hugs, a great meal, a spirited debate, insightful advice, or just a shoulder to cry on. She will be dearly missed and has left a legacy that will be passed on to generations.
