Joanne Kish Obituary
Age 84 of Venetia, passed away peacefully with family at her side on Thursday February 13, 2025. Beloved wife of the late Robert F. Kish. Dear mother of Michele (Dale) Buttgereit and the late Robert W. Kish (Debra). Loving grandmother of Anna Buttgereit, Nicholas Buttgereit (Talia) and Daniel Kish. Sister of the late Jeanne McElhinny. Also survived by niece Beverly (Bill) and nephew Gregory (Kathy), as well as grand nieces and nephews Christopher, Joe and Amy Ferari and John Mark, Heather and Andrew McElhinny. Dog grandma to Rory Buttgereit and Jake Kish.
Joanne had a great love for all of her family and had many cherished friends. Some of her favorite family activities included dining (out or in), vacationing, and card playing. Family get togethers always included a card game of some sort. Consistent with her love of games, she enjoyed playing cards with her dear friends at the Chartiers Bend Retirement community, not to mention an occasional venture to the Meadows Casino.
