Joanne Marie Dell’Osso, loving Aunt, Sister, and Friend went home to be with the Lord on August 28, 2019. Joanne was born on June 19, 1944 in Galveston, Texas to Mario and Dina Dell’Osso. In her early years she attended and graduated from Ursuline Academy. She graduated from Loyola University in New Orleans in 1966. After graduation she taught elementary school for 2 years in New Orleans.
Joanne moved to Houston, Texas in 1968 where she made life-long friendships with so many. She was known for her extreme loyalty and had a long and fulfilling career in the financial industry until her retirement in 2015. She enjoyed traveling, holidays, parties, get togethers, casino trips, and most of all being with her family and friends.
Joanne was a die-hard sports fan. She was always rooting for her beloved Texans, Rockets, and Astros. She never missed a game! She was the first to call you on your birthday, first to send you a card, and the first one to offer help when you were in need.
Joanne is survived by sisters, Laurie May of Houston, Texas, Jenny Gaido of Conroe, Texas; brother, Mario and wife Judy Dell’Osso of Crockett, Texas. Joanne was fondly known most of all as “Jo”, “Aunt Jo”, or “AJ”.

She had many great nieces and nephews that she so proudly doted on, Chloe, Jackson, Isabella, Claire, Elise, Gabriella, Grant and Piper. We will always remember her kindness, huge heart, and she will be dearly missed by all.
