Joanna Berghman Obituary
After graduating from North East High School, she moved to the Attleboro area and worked for Josten's, honing her skills in the jewelry industry. With her motivational style, she went on to become a well-respected supervisor at E. A. Dion, Inc., where she organized, supported and participated in various activities and charity events.
Jodie and Eric were great animal lovers and their rescue cats were their "babies"; In fact, their tattoo studio in Attleboro is named "Stray Tatts." Jodie enjoyed going to concerts and loved riding her motorcycle. She was an avid auto racing and target shooting enthusiast. She also spent time cooking, reading, knitting and crocheting.
In addition to her husband, and parents, she is survived by her brothers, Andrew Tefft and wife Michelle of Erie, Pa., and Michael Tefft and wife Bridget of Pittsburgh, Pa., as well as nieces and nephews Graesyn, Brynn, Lauren, and Evan Tefft. She also leaves and will be greatly missed by cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins. The entire Berghman family was proud she shared their name.
Friends and family and others whose lives Jodie touched are invited to gather at the Foley-Cook-Hathaway Funeral Home, 126 S. Main St., Attleboro, Mass., on Friday, Dec. 30, 2016 from 6-8 p.m., with a service in the funeral home at 8 p.m., to support each other, reminisce, and celebrate Jodie's life. Donations in her honor may be made to the Greater New England MS Society 101A First Ave., Waltham, MA 02451 and RETTS Syndrome 4600 Devitt Drive Cincinnati, OH 45246 To light a candle, sign the guestbook or for directions, visit www.hathawayfunerals.com.
