JoAnn Mynk

JoAnn was born in Greenbrier County, West Virginia on MAY 9, 1934, to Ralph J. Ramsey and Mary Ruth Shawver. She graduated from Lafayette High School and continued to receive her diploma in nursing from Sacred Heart Hospital in Lexington, KY. JoAnn was married to Joseph Mynk on August 16, 1956; they were married 69 years.

JoAnn worked as an emergency room nurse until she became a full-time homemaker for her four children and husband. She ran a loving, successful household. She was a talented seamstress and quilter, providing her loved ones with beautiful textile works and clothing. She also created dozens of prayer shawls for charity. She traveled extensively, exploring sites across the globe. She saw the Sistine Chapel, Blarney Castle, the Great Pyramids of Giza, Cape Horn, and more. Stateside, she often took road trips to Florida and Kentucky to see her parents and extended family. She was active in her home parish, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, and was a familiar face at her organ classes with Friends Playing For Friends.

JoAnn is preceded in death by siblings Judith Irene Mix, John Ramsey, niece Brenda Knowling, nephew Paul Henderson, and son James Edward Mynk.

JoAnn is survived by her husband Joseph Mynk, children John, Margaret, and Elizabeth, her grandchildren Sarah and Katherine, and her sister Margaret Ruth Rogers.
