When I think about Aunt Joanie, I think about her loud funny laugh. I think about her weekly visits to my grandma’s house. I think about holiday get-togethers. I think about her little white dog named Amy. I think about Papa Will. I think about hot summer pool days down at the clubhouse in her neighborhood. I think about walking out of her back patio door down to the lake. So many memories! You will truly be missed! We love you! 

When I think about Aunt Joanie, I think about her loud funny laugh. I think about holiday get-togethers at Nama’s house. I think about her little dog named Amy. I think about hot summer pool days down at the clubhouse in her neighborhood. I think about walking out her back patio door down to the lake. I think about her piano. I think about Papa Will. So many memories! You will be truly missed! We love you!

We are going to miss my dear and unique mom, but I know she and 
Dad are celebrating in heaven right now since they are together once again!!
Mom had a big heart and was my guide in this life! She was a truly Christian woman and a loving mother.  I know it is a cliche, but
"Our loss IS Heaven's gain!   

 Forever loving you, Mom,
Barbie and family. XXOO

To my sweet Great Aunt Joanie. Remembering the times I would go over to your house to go swimming and all the fun family get togethers we had down by the pool. We had inside picnics at your house with Keith, Meg, and Kristin. Some of the best times. Christopher loves you, too. You will be dearly missed. We love you so much. What a beautiful person you were. Love you, Danielle

To my dear sweet Aunt Joanie. Such a sweet person. Loved seeing your smile, your sweet kisses, your beautiful face. My mom and I loved to visit you, make you smile, manicure your nails, bring you flowers, rub lotion on your soft skin and bring you pictures and videos of Michael Buble. Oh, how I love you! Brenda

To my sister Joanie.  All the fun times we have had over the years with our children and our family. Coffee, lunches, watching Hallmark movies together and keeping up with each other on the phone. You are so loved and will be missed. Your sister, Susie.💞

Aunt Joanie was a wonderful person who was loved very much. We always loved her laugh and sense of humor. She was kind. Very sweet and loved her family. Her sister Sue Foley will miss her so much. They were great friends as well as sisters. She will always have fond memories of her and keep her close to her heart everyday as we will too. Rest in peace. Love you. Sue, Brenda, Darlene, Beth and all the children.
