Joan Ann Kranz

A proud New Yorker, Joan loved to share stories from her childhood and her days working at Universal Studios in Manhattan. After meeting the love of her life, Albert, she raised her family on Long Island and there she made many lifelong friends. She and Al retired to Sun Lakes, Arizona in 1991, where Joan enjoyed many girls' trips and a variety of community activities with her friends. She had 52 happy years with Al until his death in 2009.

The pride and joy of Joan's life was her family which includes her dearly loved grandsons and children, beloved nieces and nephews and those she loved as if they were family.

Joan was preceded in death by her husband, Albert J Kranz and her sister, Eileen Harsnett. She is survived by her children, Jim and Jean Kranz of Charleston, WV, Carolyn Bonamo of Chandler Arizona, her grandsons Matthew Bonamo and Timothy Bonamo. She is also survived by the daughter she always held in her heart, Kathy Pinelli of Zephrhills, FL.

Private services will be held. The family requests donations be made to Children's Cancer Network, an organization Joan felt strongly about. www.childrenscancernetwork.org
