Johanna Hart

Johanna Hart (Ciricillo) beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and dear friend to so many, passed away at home surrounded by family. Born in Cleveland to Arthur and Jennie Ciricillo, she graduated from St. Ann grade school and Beaumont School, and attended Notre Dame College in Cleveland Heights. Johanna met and married the love of her life, husband Tyke (Albert), and the two lived most of their wonderful 61-year adventure together in Columbus, before retiring Scioto River sunrises for sunsets over the lanai in Florida. She was an accomplished business woman who supported her husband and managed his medical practice, and a talented artist who created and sold works as a young woman, then in retirement joyfully practiced in the art of watercolor. She believed in continued learning and study, with avid interests in history, religion and politics. Later in life her passion for these interests culminated in solo trips to Washington DC and Israel - even running in an election for a local position. Johanna's three children Bert (Lisa Taylor), Bridget (Ken Howerter) and Brian (Veronica) Hart were her pride, and her grandchildren Jovy, Max and Ally Hart and Bridget Cunningham were her joy. She so loved her role as mother and grandmother that she extended that gift to many others that she held close as family and friends. She never missed a baptism, graduation or birthday. Johanna was passionate about life, saying that she had an amazing one and couldn't have asked for anything more. Her unconditionally loving and giving spirit touched so many throughout her lifetime, and this will be her legacy. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. In addition to her children and grandchildren, Johanna is survived by her proud and loving husband Dr. Albert Hart Jr., siblings Arthur Ciricillo, Charlotte Fowler and Linda Ciricillo (Stephen) Hickey, sisters-in-law Carol (Michael Johns) Keck and Ann (Neil) Hart and her many adored nieces and nephews and their families. A Celebration of Life is planned for August 31st, 2:00-4:00 P.M. at Schoedinger Dublin, 5980 Perimeter Drive, Dublin, OH.
