I didn't realize this had happened, and was sorry to hear it. Joanne was a special person and had been in several of my classes. She will be missed greatly.June Roberto (Harkins)
This really shocked me. I knew her sister Janet. My condolences to the family.......Richard Spreitzer
I consider myself so fortunate for having known Joanne throughout the years. She was the first friendly face I remember when my family moved to PSL in '73 (age 11). Jo, her husband (Jeff) and the rest of the Don Q gang were such family to me back then. I miss you and think of you often, Jo.Lisa Bienduga (Koch)
I dated her brother, Bill, so Joanne and I were almost like sisters. We lost touch after I moved to Boca Raton, and Bill and I broke up. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Bill?

I remember Joanne to be a very smart and sweet girl. I didn't know about this until now, but I'm sad to see this. Prayers for her sweet family.
