JoAnn Gehrman Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
June 10, 1929-November 20, 2025
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother. Mom, the Lord has taken you Home!
Mom was born on June 10, 1929, to Fred and Adeline Steiger. Along with her brother John (Jack) she spent her youth in Park Falls. As a matter of fact, other than attending Caroll College and a brief stint teaching in Escanaba, she spent her entire life living on 3rd Avenue.
On February 14, 1953, she married Robert Rienow Gehrman and shortly after they moved into the house she lived in her whole life. Their family immediately began to grow and their devotion to family, friends, community and the Lord began and was unwavering. She was a lifelong member of Peace Lutheran Church and her relationship with the Lord was paramount.
Mom's zest for life was real, and she leaves an indelible mark on us, her 11 grandchildren, 21.5 great grandchildren, and so many friends and acquaintances. She was just a good person; the type that could "have a conversation with a wrong number".
A celebration of life will be held at Peace Lutheran Church on Wednesday, November 26 with visitation from 10:00-11:00 with service, procession and gathering at Peace Lutheran to follow.
Mom, you are loved by so many, and you have left your mark on us. We know you have been welcomed home by the Lord and are dancing with your parents, Dad, your brother Jack, Daughter Jeanne, and so many relatives and friends. They are happy to see you coming Home. We'll miss the weekly phone calls, the notes on birthdays and anniversaries, and your feisty personality, but your legacy will be carried on with all the wonderful recipes, the Christmas ornaments you sent to the grandkids every year and all the kind touches you made on our lives. "Naked and Afraid", "Americas Funniest Videos", the Badgers and Packers, and your love for the birds and "chippies" all will last, take on new meaning and give us so many fond memories!
Your children Tom, Julie (Fischer), Dan, Jim and Bill

Jim and Carol,
I am so saddened to hear of your Mom´s passing - this photo is the way I remember meeting her when we were neighbors in CT. She was a lovely lady- proud of all her children and grandchildren. May your sweet memories bring you all comfort.
