JoAnn Stranahan 75, "Jo Ann Arrington (Jody)" was born to Ishamel Cleo & Mable Louise Arrington June 20, 1950. She departed this life on December 12, 2025. She has been healed and will live on in the kingdom of Heaven.

JoAnn has spent the last forty-one years married to the love of her life, Jack Stranahan. She always told everyone "He's, my hero." She took great pride in being his wife and 857 1/2. They were living their dream on the beautiful Lake Texoma, and she loved to go boating and swimming and was always ready to go ride on the beaches on the Side x Side. JoAnn adored her family and being together was her favorite thing.

She had three children that she loved very much - Greg Pope, Amy Spence and Tommy Stranahan. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life.

Her contagious love for life and incredible strength will live on through her husband, children and grandchildren.
