JoAnn worked at her and her husband's local tavern (Kuhnle's Tavern) from 1960 up until she retired in 2011. JoAnn loved to go to Kuhnle's every Thursday to have a beer and sit and chat with all the locals. She spent most of her time at her grandchildren's sporting events. She was at every practice and every game; she was their number 1 fan. JoAnn loved to make her famous potato salad for all Kuhnle's Tavern events (mostly Seahawk games). JoAnn was the most kindhearted, beautiful, loving, unselfish, and giving person you would ever meet. She was a remarkable woman who will be deeply missed.
