JoAnn Glenn Evans

Ms. JoAnn Glenn Evans, of Lexington Highway, Elberton, passed away on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at Pruitt Health at Spring Valley, exactly one month after her 86th birthday. 

The second of three girls, JoAnn was born at home in the Enterprise Community of Oglethorpe County on July 10, 1938, daughter of the late Joseph ‘Reece’ Glenn and Omie ‘Louise’ Carlisle Glenn. She worked in various positions throughout her life; however, being a homemaker was her greatest “job”. Her family was her most prized possession and she always put them first above anything. She was a member of Fortsonia Baptist Church. 

Surviving are her children, Rock Evans and Laura of Elberton, Rhonda Gunter and Scott of Elberton; sister, Eudora Huyck and Albert of North Carolina; grandchildren who loved their Nanny dearly: Cody Gunter and Maggie, Clint Gunter and Ande, Brad Evans and Anna Grace, and Morgan Floyd and Austin; great-grandchildren: Towns Gunter and Birdie Rae Gunter; and a host of nieces, nephews, and other relatives. 

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her sister and brother-in-law, Gladelle and George Martin Dixon. 

The family is at their respective homes and will receive friends on Tuesday, August 13, from 5:00-7:00p.m. at Berry Funeral Home. 

Funeral services celebrating JoAnn’s life will be conducted on Wednesday, August 14, at 11:00a.m. in the Memorial Chapel of Berry Funeral Home with her nephew, Rev. Lem LeRoy, officiating. Burial will follow in Fortsonia Community Cemetery.
