Joann spent her entire life in Farmington, building her legacy on the family homestead. She graduated from Farmington High School in 1956.
Joann met the love of her life while working as a carhop. She married Eugene 'Gene' Farley, on December 21, 1955. Together, they built a life centered on family raising two sons and a daughter. Joanns deep faith in Christ guided her every step and was reflected in her boundless generosity and care for others. Joann had a sharp mind and remarkable memory for details. Her uncanny sense of humor would definitely catch you off guard. Joanns strength was unwavering as shown by the constant smile on her face no matter the extent of pain she was experiencing.
For over three decades, Joann worked tirelessly preparing lunches for students at Heights Jr. High School.

Whether it was a family gathering or a church event, Joanns lovingly prepared meals became a hallmark of her hospitality and warmth.
Joann is lovingly remembered by her daughter LeAnna Hanhardt and husband Leon; son George Steven Farley and wife Angela; grandchildren Logan Hanhardt and Karina, Taylor Stevens and Connor, Madison Tarbet and Tyler; and great-granddaughter Savannah Stevens. Joann was joyfully awaiting the arrival of her great-grandson George Michael Stevens in June 2025.
