Joanne's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with threads of compassion and joy. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her family, especially to her beloved husband, Santos Hernandez. Together, they built a life filled with laughter and love. Joenna was a devoted mother to her children, Jose Santos Hernandez (Yessica R.

She loved her pets, Jayla and Chase, taking great delight in their companionship. Her creativity blossomed in her home, where she found joy in decorating and creating a warm and welcoming space for her loved ones.
Throughout her life, Joanne was blessed with the unwavering support of her parents, Oralia Gonzalez, who shares in the deep love and bond of their family. Her memory will always resonate within the hearts of those who knew her, including her extended family and friends.
Joanne's legacy is further colored by the memories of her maternal grandparents and her father, Homero Gonzalez, who have passed but left an indelible mark on her heart. She carried their love with her and cherished the values they instilled in her.
