Joanee was one of the funniest, kind and gentle people I have ever known. She was a very determined and courageous woman. She was an avid reader and gardner with a quick wit.
Just after high school we drove to Kansas City to visit her grandparents and her great grandfather. It was a wonderful trip. Joanee and her family were steeped in the richness of Italian heritage. I remember her warm voice calling me on my birthday, to say happy birthday. Joanee will be sorely missed by those who loved and knew her. God bless Joanee and her family
