JoAnne was an incredible human. I worked with her at Fluke and back in the day she was always telling jokes to make us laugh. JoAnne was like the mom to some of us young new talent in the factory at Fluke. She made it easy to talk to her about lifes challenges and getting through the politics of work. She was great at her job and very respected for her work she did. I have many fond memories of our time outside of work when she was a friend and a second mom. I can still hear her laugh and see her beautiful smile. What a lady she was. My condolences to her family!

I am saddened to read of JoAnne's passing. I worked with her at Fluke and as a young employee, she helped to gather skills that I took into my full working life. Last time I saw JoAnne was at Kohl's in Snohomish a few years ago. She was a beautiful woman both inside and out. I will cherish all of the great memories I have from many years ago. RIP in peace my friend JoAnne. May your family find comfort in all of the happy memories they have.
