Joann and I were best friends when she and Ernie lived in Cary NC. She was my big sister and I was her little sister. I missed her greatly when they moved and my husband and I visited she and Ernie in LV. a few times. I did not know she had died, and now realize why I stopped hearing from her. Joann was always so much fun to be with, we enjoyed golf and shopping together. I still think of her often, she was a unique and wonderful woman and I was lucky to have her as my friend. Helen Prato

I had the pleasure of being Joanns hairstylist for the past 11 years. She will always hold a special place in my heart. She was not just a "client" but a true friend. I will miss all of our political talks and our occasional lunches "just to catch up". She missed Ernie so much and now they are together again. Condolences to ALL her family and friends.
