Joanne was born Nov 7, 1941, in Paoli, IN, to Lowell and Carrie (Morris) Magner. The youngest of six children, she was lovingly known as Cookie. Her parents, sister Mary Margaret (Magner) Arnold and husband Bob Arnold, sister Imogene (Magner) Hazelbaker and husband Lynne Hazelbaker, brother Howard Magner and wife Willa Marie, brother Larry Magner, and brother Harold Magner and wife Joyce all preceded her.
She is survived by sister-in-law Betty (Buchanan) Magner of Corydon, IN, and sister-in-law Betty (Hudson) Salyer and her husband Greg Salyer of Whittier, NC.
Joanne grew up on a farm in southern Indiana and met her future husband Morris the summer of 1959 between graduating from Orleans High School and her freshman year at Indiana University. They married in 1961 and the following year Morris was commissioned a second lieutenant in the US Air Force and, as a result, they traveled the US and Europe living in Texas, Wyoming, Indiana, Washington, Germany, Spain, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, and Missouri.
Family and friends are what Joanne treasured most in life. Favorite pastimes included travel, reading, sewing, cross stitch, crochet, playing cards and board games, making new friends, and telling stories about her life experiences. She especially enjoyed going to Branson, MO, to see the various musical shows.
She has oodles of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends scattered across the US from coast to coast.
