She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Ruth Casteel, husband Waymon O. Davis, her son Brian Davis, and brothers Bill Casteel and Tom Casteel.
Joanne was a devoted wife and mother, raising four children, as well as helping run the family business, Davis Painting and Flooring Company, for many years. She loved gardening, canning, being with her family, and spending time outdoors.

Joanne is also the sister of Joy Frazier, Ben Casteel, Elaine Sanders, Kathy Casteel, and Mark Casteel.
Joanne truly lit the room with her beautiful smile and she will be remembered as a life filled with kindness and grace. Even as her health declined, she kept her wit and kept us smiling. What a gift she was.
