DeLuca (Barbara), John A. DeLuca (Carole), Susan DeLuca, Lisa DeMars (David) and Lynne Eckert. She is preceded in death by her parents Dr. Paul and Dorothy DeLuca. She is also survived by her mother-in-law, Florence Beall, sisters-in-law Carolyn Beall Booker (Stuart), Ann Beall Meyer (Paul) and brother-in-law John Beall (Karen). She leaves many nieces and nephews who loved their Aunt JoJo and were always in her heart. JoAnn’s life was filled with friends who became part of her family, many of whom were by her side until the end.

JoAnn was born on October 10, 1960 in Johnson City, New York. She graduated from Seton High School and Ithaca College with a degree in Medical Records Library Science. She married David Beall, the love of her life after moving to the Raleigh/Durham area. JoAnn began working in Medical Records and later in Data Management in the Clinical Research Field. She always faced work as a challenge incorporating humor and dedication to all she did. JoAnn and David welcomed Michael to join Daniel and Taylor to make their family complete. Her children will remember her as a kind mother who encouraged them to pursue their goals and love one another.

JoAnn’s life was filled with love for family and friends but mostly for her dearest husband. Together they built a life filled with laughter and love. She was the love of his life. JoAnn was a woman of deep religious beliefs and sought to make her life meaningful, a life guided by her love of God and love of family. JoAnn was a generous hostess who welcomed all into her home for dinner or coffee or just a kind word. She opened her heart and her home to all.
