JOANNE E. VRANKOVICH

1932 - 2020

Joanne E. Vrankovich

Hopewell Township

Joanne E. Vrankovich, 87, formerly of Hopewell Twp., died Wednesday, March 18, 2020, at Apple Blossom, Moon Twp.

Born December 3, 1932, in Sewickley, a daughter of the late Peter and Anna Pribulsky. She was a member of Good Samaritan Church. Joanne was a loving homemaker to her husband, Sam and son, John. She was a kind and gentle woman as ever lived. Strangers would approach her to strike up conversations as though they knew her for years and she would treat them as long lost friends. She never complained about the Rheumatoid Arthritis that attacked her joints for over thirty years. It was the onset of dementia that robbed her of a lifetime of memories, worse than any physical ailment. She was and will always be "The Girl Next Door".

Surviving are her husband of 61 years, Samuel P. Vrankovich; one son and daughter-in-law, John and Elizabeth Vrankovich, Virginia; one grandson, Max Vrankovich, Virginia; one sister-in-law, Barbara Pribulsky, Conway; one brother-in-law, Gene Lysick, Ambridge; special friends, Michael and Betty Nelko and Jack and Judy Nelko, all of Baden.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one brother, Robert Pribulsky.

There will be no viewing. A private Mass of Christian burial will be held Friday at Good Samaritan Church followed by a private interment in Economy Cemetery. BOHN-MATICH FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 1099 Maplewood Ave., Ambridge, are in charge of arrangements.
