Joanna Montagnino Bouquet

Joanna is survived by her beloved husband of 32 years Randy M Bouquet; daughter Laura Bouquet and Step-son Randy J Bouquet. Two sister-in-laws; Jean Cary (Craig) and Toni Watson (Mark) as well as two brother in laws Dwight Bouquet and David Bouquet. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, and friends that loved her as a sister.

In 1993, Joanna married the love of her life, Randy M. Bouquet, and warmly embraced her role as an amazing stepmother to Randy J. Bouquet. Three years later, in 1996, she gave birth to her beloved daughter, Laura Bouquet. Laura shared a special bond with her mother, relying on her for support throughout every aspect of life, and will miss her deeply.

Joanna returned to school in 2010 to pursue her passion and earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education in 2014. She went on to teach kindergarten until her battle with cancer returned in mid-2022.

Joanna was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Anne Montagnino, and her brother, Sammy Montagnino. Father in Law and Mother in Law Odon Bouquet and Enola Bouquet.

She cherished her yearly beach vacations, spending time with her best friends and her sister-in-law, Toni Watson. Joanna also enjoyed the company of her beloved pets, Simba, Chloe, and Sir Winston, and, most of all, being surrounded by her family. She was an extraordinary wife, mother, and friend to all who had the privilege of knowing her. With a heart of unparalleled kindness and compassion, Joanna's positive attitude remained unwavering, even as she fought the cruel disease of breast cancer until her last breath.

Words cannot express how deeply blessed we are to have had her in our lives. Her profound impact on everyone she encountered will never be forgotten. Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her husband, children, and all those who loved her over the years.
