JoAnna Collins Obituary
Taking care of her family filled her soul. She was a beautiful person inside and out. JoAnna was an amazing cook and had an eye for interior decorating. She loved to travel-the ocean gave her peace. JoAnna loved to play golf, watch Marah's volleyball games, enjoy a delicious glass of red wine and spend time with friends and family. Her passing leaves a hole in many hearts but also wonderful memories.
There is a party in the heavens with family and friends who have gone before her, welcoming her into a place without suffering and in the loving hands of God. #mimistrong

To me, Mrs. JoAnna will always be remembered as the most welcoming person I know. She had a remarkable way of making everyone around her feel like a friend... or even family! And that infectious laugh- It will always bring me joy when we think of it.
From what I could see, she lived life to the fullest and loved her family deeper than anyone I´ve met. Mrs. JoAnna is an inspiration and her legacy will live on forever because of all the love and kindness she shared with the world! I feel blessed to have known her.

JoAnna came into my family´s life when my son, Andrew ,became best friends with Scotty in fourth grade. They played on the same soccer team for years that Scott coached. So many memories of not only the weekly games, but the times we traveled away for games. My daughter Laura would play on the sidelines with Rachel. JoAnna was such a loving mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sad news ...JoAnna was such a sweet lady. I remember when all the ladies were in Ocean City and playing Bay Wood Greens... I was playing in her foursome and not playing well ...actually playing really bad and she was so supportive...finally I made a good shot and she yells. "NOW THAT...THAT IS A GOLF SHOT". so excited for me. She made us all laugh She will be missed by many. Condolences to Scott and family

The entire Moore family is very saddened by your loss. Joanna was a beautiful woman with a huge heart. To read this sad news is almost too hard to comprehend, because she was bigger than life when you knew her. She was funny, warm, loving, and the life of any party. She lived life to the fullest and we are very saddened to hear of her untimely passing. Heaven is a better place today. Our thoughts and prayers go to everyone in the Collins family. We are grieving with you.

Remembering the times she and Scott came to visit Sandy and Sid Schenning and we had beach times together, followed by Happy Hours. So happy the Schennings shared their special friendship with the Collins with us.
She fought a long battle and now is at rest.
