Publish in a newspaper
As a child, she worked at her family dairy. She graduated from Brown Vocational School in 1955 as a beautician and worked at Ruth Sands' Beauty Salon and The Hairport. For 45 years, Joanna enjoyed being a bus driver in New Castle County, finally retiring in 2014. Throughout her life, she enjoyed roller skating, walking with friends at the Christiana Mall, watching soap operas, and spending time with her family. A lover of good stories, Joanna relished conversations with her many friends. A devout Catholic, Joanna never missed church on Sundays at Our Lady of Fatima in New Castle. She was generous with what she had and frequently helped others in need.
Joanna is preceded in death by her husband, John Janowski, Sr, parents Earl and Jenny (Martone) Trincia, siblings John Trincia, Pasquina (Pat) Castiglioni, Lucy Benicky, Lawrence Trincia, Earl F Trincia, Jr, Louis Trincia, Francis P. Trincia, son-in-law Harvard Hooper, daughter-in-law Melissa Charney and many sister and brothers-in-law.
