JoAnn F. Santoro Jones

She was born in Queens, NY, May 29, 1954 to her dear parents who sadly preceded her, Charles "Sonny" Santoro and Angelina Santoro.

JoAnn lived in Queens, NY until 1990, before joining us as a resident in Port Charlotte. JoAnn worked tirelessly, yet with pride, to support her loving children through all their adolescent years. She was an individual who all her life lived for and deeply loved her children and grandchildren, always showing her obvious affection for them. They were, indeed her life. She was loved by all friends and family her entire life on this earth, and still is loved, and forever will be remembered.

She now joins her husband, Jerry Jones, in eternal life, and is survived by her loving sister, Florence "Corky" Corsi; her children and loves of her life, Charles Chiappisi, Francesco LiVigni III, and Dawn LiVigni Rowe of Port Charlotte. She was also loved by her adoring grandchildren, Dominic LiVigni, Lucia Rowe, Autumn LiVigni, and Anastasia LiVigni. Joanne's nieces, Angelina Corsi, Tina Randazzo, Jessica Leon, and nephew, Jeffery Lewis Dessler Jr., will always keep the memory of their aunt in their hearts.
