Born in Perth Amboy, NJ, Joanne was raised in Spotswood, NJ and lived in Lakewood, NJ for thirty-five years before moving to the Whiting section of Manchester, NJ. In addition to raising her family, she worked for many years in the office supply industry before retiring.
Joanne was predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Lillian Nizza, with whom she is now reunited.
She is survived by her devoted husband of fifty-three years, Bernard (Sandy) Fischer; her three beloved children, Jeremy Fischer and his wife Coralee of Brick, NJ, Jennifer Encin of Flanders, NJ, and Joseph Fischer of Bayville, NJ; her loving sister, Marianne Hansen, and her husband Jim of Spotswood, NJ; and her sister-in-law, Patti Spirko, and her husband Mike of Williamsport, PA. She also leaves behind six cherished grandchildren—Jade, Devin, Kalani, Max, Paige, and Lilianna—who were a constant source of joy and pride in her life. Joanne was also blessed with some dear friends who became family to her and who held a special place in her heart.
