I'm so saddened to hear this. I didn't know JoAnn well, but she taught my daughter Ava Sunday school for a few years. She seemed like such a positive light. Ava really enjoyed having her as a teacher. Praying for your family during this difficult time!

I am so sorry to hear of JoAnn’s passing. I remember her well as part of the Wilson Park gang growing up in West DePere. My sympathies to the entire Hein family.
