She was preceded in death by her loving husband, James (Tom) Fitch, and her parents, Clarence (Pete) Frenzel and Mary Elizabeth (White) Cooke.
She was a graduate of Shortridge High School and was the first female head teller at Union Federal Savings and Loan. Known as “JoJo” to all who loved her, she was a dedicated mother, grandmother, cousin, and friend. Joan was a gracious hostess and always made her friends and guests feel welcome, the first to lend a hand or host a party. Her love and generosity will be missed, but we find comfort knowing she’s enjoying a martini with Tom.
Survivors include her daughters and their husbands, Jamie (Chuck) Goodhard and Julie (Paul) Vivirito; granddaughters, Laura Goodhard, Tiffany (Matt) Kless, Amanda Goodhard; and great-grandson, Aiden Kless.
She was a member of Orchard Park Presbyterian Church and an avid bowler in numerous leagues at Nora Bowl.
