Joanne Labatt

Hal and Joanne were married on October 5, 1963, and had their only child, Jim LaBatt, in September 1964. In 1967 they relocated to Atlanta, GA for Hal’s work. Hal eventually started his own Company, Transyt Corporation, in Atlanta and relocated the family to Tallahassee, FL in February 1973.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Joanne was a member of the Killearn Country Club, living just off the 16th green. She loved golfing and was a member of the Killearn Ladies Golf Association and was also very active in working the PGA – Tallahassee Open tournaments. One of her fondest memories was being asked to breakfast by Arnold Palmer.

In 1987, Hal and Joanne moved to Golden Eagle CC, where she was an active member with the Ladies Golf Association. She loved travel and went all over the globe with Hal, making friends and fond memories along the way.

Joanne loved her Boxer dogs very much. She also loved golf, traveling, fine food, and flying – she had a private pilot’s license.

Joanne was preceded in death by her loving husband Hal.

She is survived by her son, Jim, wife Mary; two grandchildren, Steve (Toni) and Christine (Nick) and her great-granddaughter, Dylan.

Joanne was a great and giving person, wife, mother and grandmother. She will be deeply missed and remembered by all whose lives she touched.

The family would like to give special thanks to Right at Home and all their employees who provided excellent care and companionship for Joanne in the final months of her life.

There will be no service at this time.
