She enjoyed all animals, especially her cat “Tuna”. Her passion was horses. From the first time she sat on her gram’s horse “Tessa” until now, she loved every minute she was with horses. She realized her dream of owning a horse when she bought “Fenway” when she was in high school. Recently she worked at Old South Carriage Company in Charleston taking care of all the draft horses. “Earl” was her favorite.

Joanna enjoyed many vacations with family and friends to Florida, Mont Tremblant, Maine, and Mexico. She looked up to and adored her brother Bobby. Her many friends were special to her and she cherished each one.
