JoAnn Beeny Obituary
Mesquite, NV - JoAnn Elizabeth Beeny passed away on April 7, 2020 in the comfort of her home in Mesquite, NV.It was a beautiful and sunny spring morning when she passed, just the way she liked it. JoAnn loved being out in the sun, and now she is up there shining as bright as it does.
JoAnn was born on August 26, 1945 in Amityville, New York to Joseph & Iris Slanec.
Just a couple of young teenagers in love, JoAnn married Art Beeny on April 29, 1961. Together they had three sons: Gary, Brent (Jody) & Blaine. Art and JoAnn were just one year shy of celebrating 60 wonderful years together.
JoAnn was the epitome of a perfect housewife. She would cook anything and everything and nothing else could compare. She cleaned until things were spotless and crocheted until her hands wouldn't let her.She loved her family and friends fiercely and was always down for a good time.
She spent many hours over at the casino, day or night. She was definitely the Queen of Bingo and has surely already won a few games up in Heaven.
JoAnn is survived by her loving husband, three children, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, brother Bob Slanec, granddaughter Jentzen Beeny, and many happy little fur babies. Her most recent dogs, Bessie and Bosley were the loves of her life. Oh how she adored them! She just couldn't bear to be away from them for too long it now seems like.
To our beloved Wife, Mother, Grandma, Aunt, Sister & Friend: We love you and will miss you tremendously. Although your time on this Earth has ended, your memory will be with us forever. Your contagious laugh will never be forgotten, your friendship will be forever treasured and your unconditional love will live in us always. Love, your family

JoAnn was like my second mother and the memories that I have of her I will alway cherish them. Living next door to her I could alway go and visit and I loved her cooking. She was the best housekeeper and alway like doing her dishes by hand. Sharing the holidays with her family as well as camping together. She alway knew how to make you smile and laugh and she was alway there if you needed to talk. My heart broke when they moved from Murray and not being able to see her often. Even when visiting her in Mesquite she alway wanted to feed you. My heart is breaking again with her passing and I know that she is with her loved ones that have gone before.
I alway looked forward to my birthday card and christmas card as she had beautiful handwriting and alway sign Art, JoAnn and the fur babies.
Art, Gary, Brent and Blaine.
I am so sorry about your loss of your wife and mother. She was a wonderful person who loved her family dearly and always wanted the best for you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love Always Lynette

Arthur and family, so sorry for your loss. Although we see didn't see your family very often, I can still hear her laugh. She always seem to be smiling as we gathered at our family reunions. I remember when you two got together and were married. A long time ago. We are blessed to have our memories that we can have forever. Love to you and your family. Colleen Burrows Van Wagoner.
