Joan Nadratowski Obituary
Joan passed away on Aug. 20, 2023, just two days shy of her 90th birthday.
She is survived by five of her children, Jamie, Cheryl, John, Jim and Pat; 16 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren, whom she loved very much.
She and husband Jim owned Ski's Bar and Grill for many years. She enjoyed bowling and playing bunco with "the girls," with whom she dined out frequently to this day.
She loved the water, beach and traveling. She always had her nails done, and was ready to party.
Grandma JoJo's favorite sayings were "YOLO" and "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone." And she was right, we already do.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James; and her daughter, Debbie.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I had a lot of good times with Joan. We were in the same bunco club and had lots of laughs. Hugs to all her kids and grandkids.
