She was always expanding her knowledge and was selected by NOAA to serve in a summer program to conserve marine ecosystems and natural resources in Alaska. JoAnne enjoyed her knitting group and was active at Holy Family Catholic Church where she was a member since 1987. JoAnne truly had a passion to serve others.
