I have very fond memories of Mrs. Florios from grade school at Kuny in the 1960's. She was always so nice and had a beautiful smile and laugh! My deepest sympathy and prayers.

"Miss Ohio" is what we named Joann when she left the area. I was Joann's hairstylist when she lived in Hobart and was still teaching. I have known her for a long time. She was a terrific lady who dearly loved her nephew and his family. She would always bring photographs to share of the boys when she was able to come back to the area for visits. Joann will be deeply missed by all that knew her. She was one of the best. Rest in peace my friend.
