Joanne was born August 30, 1945, to the late Joseph and Josephine Bieleski Kaib in Detroit, Michigan.
Before moving to Greeneville she was a longtime antiques dealer in Michigan.
She loved all animals and used that love to both train and show dogs with great success. The most difficult dog was, to Joanne, only in need of more good, firm training.
After moving to Greeneville, Joanne found her spiritual home at First Presbyterian Church, where she attended services as long as her health permitted.
Joanne is survived by her son, Stephen Messina, of Clinton Township, Michigan.
There will be a Celebration of Joanne’s Life during Sunday services, September 10. Those desiring, may make memorial donations to First Presbyterian Church, Greeneville.
