Dear family of Joanne,
I am so sorry to hear of Joanne’s passing. She was my hair stylist for over 25 years, beginning with the Salon at T. Riley’s. We had many great discussions about life over all the years and I will miss her expert hair styling and her friendship.
With love,
Barbara Braun

Joanne, I'm going to miss you so much. Your smiling face was such an uplifting ray of sunshine whenever you came into the Monroe  PO. You were always so upbeat and ready to go. We made plans to have lunch together soon. But GOD knew your pain. But I loved and respected you so much
I considered you my best friend and my special sister. Will miss you so much. RIP my great friend. Love you, Carol Clark. 

Jo Ann was my stylist and hairdresser for over 14 yrs through thick and thin.  She was a wonderful, sweet lady and always had a smile on her face to greet me.  I also appreciated her professionalism in the workplace.   I will miss her greatly. 
I'm so sorry for your family's loss of Jo Ann.  Our family is praying for God to bring you peace and comfort during this time.

Junior,
I am so sorry for your loss.  My sincere condolences to you and all of your and Jo Ann’s family.  You are blessed to have shared a lifetime of memories with someone so special.  May you find peace and comfort in those memories.
Your cousin Cecil

Jo Ann’s hair styling station was adjacent to my hair stylist (Lori). Jo Ann always had the most wonderful smile and gentle disposition. It was obvious how all of the stylists enjoyed each other and their work - but particularly Jo Ann and Lori — like sisters.  I would often run into Jo Ann at beach music events - and - she not only could cut hair — she could really “cut a rug”!! 
I was so saddened by the news of her passing. 
My prayers are with all who knew and loved her - may you all gain comfort and peace.

She was truly happy to see you and really listened to all you had to say-a true friend.  Hugs to you and your family

Junior, 

So sorry for your loss. I will always remember JoAnn flashing the lights at night when you left for work. You were very much loved!

We will miss seeing Jo Ann's sweet smile around the neighborhood and in the local stores. We are thankful for the moments we shared with this special lady. Junior, God will guide your path and comfort your heart. Know that we are keeping you in thought and prayer.

Thoughts and prayers sent to you Junior  and the family. Jo Ann was such a sweet, thoughtful lady. We have been friends for 30+ years and my hairdresser.

JoAnn was a dear friend that I will miss. She was a strong, giving, loving woman that everyone loved. She loved the beach and dancing . We were friends and co workers for close to 40 years. There will be a void left by her absence. I will keep Jr and all her family in my prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss. May God bless you all.
