Joann was a longtime volunteer with The Gathering at St. Rose of Lima. With her dog, Chloe, Joann was a volunteer for 10 years with the BAK-PAK Critters Reading Program of Oaks Presbyterian Church. As a specially trained reading therapy team, they worked with children at Bang Elementary.

Joann loved to bring joy to other dialysis patients even while she herself was going through dialysis. She would bring donuts and other tasty treats. Loved to wear t-shirts with funny sayings just for the purpose of making the other dialysis patients laugh during this difficult treatment.

Joann lived in the Garden Oaks area since 1973 and loved her home, her neighbors, and friends. She will be remembered for her happy laugh that others loved to hear.

Services will all take place on Monday, March 21, 2022 at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. The visitation will be at 9:30 am, a Rosary will follow at 10:15am, and her Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00am. She will be laid to rest at Houston National Cemetery following her services.
