JoAnn shared her warm and social personality with their employees and customers. JoAnn was most passionate about spending time with Jim and their family, hosting holiday gatherings and vacations.

JoAnn, along with Jim, set a beautiful example of the importance of living a good and intentional life focused on faith and family.
