JoAnn STEFFEY Obituary

STEFFEY, JoAnn M. quietly made the final journey home on Nov. 15, 2013 at her home in Carrollwood, FL. She left behind 2 daughters, Cheryl and Cynthia; 3 grand-daughters, 6 great-grand-children, 2 brothers, a sister and cherished friends. JoAnn retired after many years of service at Bank of America, and was considered by many, a local hero for the part she played in the arrest and conviction of murderer, Oba Chandler. JoAnn graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1988 from Tampa College with a BS in marketing and management. Her quick wit and kind nature will be missed by all who knew her. A memorial service is being held Saturday, Nov. 23 at 4 pm at the "Melech" Hospice house chapel. 11125 N 52nd Street, Temple Terrace, FL 33617. Donations can be made to The American Cancer Society or Lifepath Hospice in her honor.
