Joanne Mazie (Warner) Luker was born October 20, 1937 in Sayre, Pennsylvania, the youngest of 5 children, to Lester Charles & Florence Belle Warner. Joanne spent her days playing with her beloved cousins, Anne & Patricia, walking the railroad tracks, riding bikes and sitting under the apple trees.
After moving down to Odessa, TX to live with her big sister, Jean, Joanne met the love of her life, JR Luker, who she married June 23, 1956 in Lovington, NM and blessed him with 4 children, 3 sons and 1 daughter.

There is nothing she wouldn’t have done for her family, fierce and determined, she raised her children to be strong and independent. Later, when the role of Granny came along, Joanne became a source of love and comfort for all of her grandchildren, with them knowing Granny’s house was always open.
